Like I said, they're cute and somewhat fitting but
nothing special. The shading was a nice touch but it was nothing
fancy just your normal straight lined stuff a shade or 2 darker then
the normal. One thing I really did like though was when you hold
the down arrow and he like flattens himself so extra point for that.

You can change the control settings which is
nice but that seemed to mess up when I did it too much and that's
it. You have to use esc to back out of things which got annoying
'cause I'm used to having the last option in a menu being exit and
would frequently do that in order to leave the options menu without
looking and then I got pulled into watching the intro which is nice
but c'mon, it's only fun the first time 8) Plus while in the game
if you hit esc it just ends, no confirmation message so if you
accidently hit it that's the end of it, folks. No way to go back to
the main menu screen once you start. I'm sure between all the
people in TMB they couldn't thought up some more options like oh I
dunno let me spend 5secs here and think of some:
1)sound on/off
2)amount of men
3)amount of life
4)amount of continues (could also add them into the game)
so from my point of view this is worth bout a... **

| Gameplay |
Controls work generally pretty well, though I hate using
esc to cancel out of everything without also havin the exit option
yadda yadda I said it up there ^ Ummm...everytime I jumped in the
game he'd also use his weapons if he could at the time which got to
be annoying because you can only have one flying projectile in the
screen at once and then after it left you had to wait a little while
so sometimes I'd need to fire and have nothing to shoot 8( Also,
when I fell down a pit I held in the jump button and he'd jump off
the screen. Kinda corny, eh?

| Overall Impression |
The game was very well made and certainly
nothing I could do, but then again I'm just one man and only been at
it for 3 months now. Had alot of complaints and I think they
should've taken some surveys as to what the people (like me) wanted
to be in the game. Also, one of the graphics in the third level was
really messed up and the game was just dull. The change of weapons
was a nice effect but holding in the button to power some up so they
didn't hit your feet was just plain annoying, especially when they'd
fire without you telling them to do so. And every level was
generally the same thing over and over and over again. Just another
"little kiddy" game like Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario. But because
they did seem to put alot of work into it I won't be too harsh and I
find this score to be quite generous on my part.
