Oh, and whilst it's funny the first time when you lose and see that the highscores are all ridiulously high.eventually this makes you want to stop playing. After a while the enemies become more advanced, and you see things like the killer arcade machine, but there's not going to be a boss battle because this game doesn't have any way you can engadge with a boss.

You won't find yourself exploring any of the colourful locations from the movie such as the Viking age, or the Nazi base. I'm surprised this hasn't been ported to mobile yet, because it's mind-numbing simplicity would be perfect there. Two mashes performs a combo which often doesn't hit anything, and just one mash makes you glide forward - though it never seems to glide enough to hit the enemy, giving them a quick window to hit you. You have two buttons: Punch left, and punch right. I should probably get into the nitty-gritty of the game itself. You've made it this far, so why not do more? You're in the recording studio already, so why not record Stairway To Heaven instead of a thirty second demo clip? It takes effort to make games, and when it finally makes it to the Steam Store then you've worked hard either slowly ascending the ladder or elaborately conning everyone. Then again: why not try to take the world by storm? I bought Portal for £1.60 and it's one of the few things that restores my faith in humanity. It's really not asking for much and it's clearly not trying to take the world by storm. I managed to get this game by selling a load of trading cards and then using my Steam wallet funds to buy this. You could probably pay for this game by looking for spare change around the sofa. It costs as much as going to the toilet three times in central London. I should get this out of the way right now: the game is only £1.50 on Steam. You can watch it right now for free, and experience the head-scratching euphoria yourself.ĭone that? Liked it? Right, so you'd think a game based off-of it would be awesome, right? Well.um. Thankfully, the movie is genuinely funny with its absurd humour that pleasingly reminds me of Far Cry: Blood Dragon. Specifically, a parody of the 80's - so it's already more popular than a cat doing a funny dance.

If you don't know, Kung Fury is a crowdfunded 30 min movie available on YouTube. There's also Double Dragon, which has been made and remade more times than a major superhero franchise.yet still the plot is: 'A woman has been punched in the stomach and kidnapped.' This too has spawned a wave of arcade-style 'beat-em-ups' to fleece money which we don't have because we don't have arcades any more because they were expensive and really don't hold up these days.įrom this obsession with a bygone era comes the game I should probably start reviewing now.

I could probably run it on my digital watch. There are a wealth of 2D fighting games to remind us of Street Fighter 2, which is odd because Street Fighter 2 has been ported to every device in the world.

Whilst games such as Shovel Knight take the retro sensibilities of 2D games but update them to fit confortably within the 21st century by actually having a story, a lot of games seek to just remind us of things. They reached their heyday in the early-90's, and returned in the late-2000s to haunt us once more with limited continues, awkward keyboard controls, and insane difficulty. It's got to the point now where I don't think 2D, low-pixel games ever went away.
