The game felt... unfinished. Its like you made the engine, set very unique systems like cameras and alarms, then you just... left it as it was. Nothing you do through the missions make a difference. You could have added so many things there like upgrades, a more stealth mechanic in some levels, mission variations... Its like you got tired mid way through development and just released as it was.

Loved it but... what was the point of collecting coins?

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!
