### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-12-19*

Super smooth game, fun retro feel and through back to classics.  Such a fun experience and love every minute of play.  Highly recommend this game for sure, the developers seemed to have done a lot of work on this and it really shows.

### 4/5 — Great but...

*2019-12-19, version 1.01*

Game is great fun...Would give 5 stars if controls were improved.  Directional control is not smooth enough for required moves.  Bigger, more sensitive control button would make this a perfect platform experience.

### 5/5 — Right back to blockbuster video

*2019-12-18*

Fantastic and fun retro platformer. I feel like a kid back at blockbuster video on a Saturday afternoon. Probably would have racked up some late fees on this game. If you know what I mean by that then you’ll love this game.

### 5/5 — 10/5 stars

*2019-12-17*

Addictive nostalgic 2D game that pulls at my heart strings. Plays so smoothly and the music is so good! So well done! Deserves an extra five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2019-12-16*

Graphics are great, swinging and jumping feel smooth and I love a game with collectibles.
