Talk about repetitive...

I have no idea how, maybe because I'm procrastinating like hell at this very moment, but I actually made it to level 17 before I just closed never to open it again. One thing is for sure: I highly doubt anyone will have the guts to play this extremely repetitive game until the end. Why on earth you you have 8 freaking levels in between bosses? I mean, knowing the repetitive nature of your game, why would you ruin it like that?

Epic

Ever since I played this game I feel taller, younger and even got a raise. Thank you mr. Dinosaur.

Play All = Animation

Well actually you could easily have labeled this as an animation. All you had to do is make a "play all" button above all the animation options. But aside from that small mistake, its awesome. My favorite is the yoyo ;)

Great

I love the game for what it is, and aside from being repetitive, the song is just awesome ;)
One thing that annoyed me thou: Reseting a level doesn't reset the timer for the points. So if you're trying to hit a high score on a level, you need to go through the inconvenience of going back to level select and then doing the level again instead of just hitting reset.

Just like old times...

Although I appreciate the hardcore style gameplay as a homage to the older NES games, I also feel the reason for this, specially in this game (after beating it): Just like the old games, it bases the gameplay time on frustration and not content. The game only has 3 levels. 3 ridiculously hard levels with no sense of accomplishment in the end what so ever. No high score, no sense of reward for finishing a level with more presents or even the game for that matter (unless you count seeing the little mouses get 2 presents instead of one or more hearts popping on the credits). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE hard games, but if Super Meatball thought us anything, is that in todays games, you can't just masquerade lack of content with difficulty. Best example of this trick: Take a look at Back to the Future III for Sega Genesis. Better yet: Search for a speed run of this game on Youtube. Its only 5 minutes short.

Oh and "fun for all the family" highly doubt that lol.

More levels

I thought the last boss had just the perfect amount of difficulty. The problem is, it came too soon. By that I mean, the game is too short for what it is. We should have more challenging levels til we get to the outcome, that is btw, just awesome.

A blast from the past

I still can't believe I beat this game! For those who like to complain, remember that this is almost a revamp of the classic NES style games. In fact its much easier if you compare it with those standards. Its like the Megaman series (or Bionic Commando where it was originally based on) with checkpoints and infinite lives. Yet the game is still amazingly challenging and it is NOT for everyone. If you are a fan of retro games and would like to relive your frustrated childhood, this is the game for you: The pixel perfect jumping we all learned to love -and- hate. 10/10
Oh and yeah, just like Bionic Commando, poor guy can't jump lol.

Fantastic!

One of the best Upgrade games I've ever played! I just wish the game was a bit longer, but that doesn't mean it won't receive a 10!

A Larry suit larry flash back!

Man this game takes me back... Back in the days of mouseless computers and word typing to see pixel boobs. It was by far the greatest DOS game of all time =D

Lacks information.

The game literally has everything we wished for from both worlds:
- Horizonal survival style from Last Stand 1 and 2
- Melee weapons and straight shots rather then an aiming cursor.

The bad:
Lacks A LOT of explanations towards the entire games. Its not clear how you get access to new weapons or how any of the updates in the field works. Its pretty much a "play about 5 times until you figure out how things work"
Weapon tooltips don't give you much but damage and ammunition, which can easly get you pissed once you picked a weapon thinking it was good (lightsaber is just the name really).
Upgrade points only change when you select a different difficulty level. Selecting different places will only make your score higher, which is ok, but not so cool if you are just planning on actually have a better gaming experience and not compete with a hacker/fanatic that has 10x your best score.

Other than that, its a fantastic game. And if it weren't for these little issues, it would be a 10 out a 10
