Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 7.0
  • 6The graphics are simple, but charmingly old-school. Music is ok, but slightly choppy, which probably is related to the uneven framerate. The gameplay is fun, but without a highscores system, it feels a bit pointless. The collision detection could be more accurate.
  • 10This game is very funny and the music is great!!! Give it a try...
  • 4Yet another weird platformer by allegators,m$paint-style gfx,horrible nes-style music,quite suitable to halloweenhack..what's that yellow flying thing!? LOL
