Remember, when this used to be a Super Mario Bros knockoff? A shameless one at that! Well, things have changed in 20 years. While, this is still a platformer, the similarities end here. The game now has a distinct look, playstile, and even story! Sure, you have to rescue someone, from something evil and so on, but that's not important. The controls are great, the levels are fun, and colorful, and the two character mechanic really works. Their combo moves require some practice, but when you manage to do them right, it's really gratifying. Oh, and the way the music changes from princess theme to punk rock is just priceless!

It plays like an old-school platformer, and it's very well made. Graphics look good, and the music is well done. Gameplay is very fun. Controls are good. Well worth the $4.94 I spent on it. Can't recommend it enough.

If you like platformers you must be familiar with the Giana Sisters - either this new re-imagined version or the old pixel art game. The game is based on a great concept of morphing one character into another, which also causes transformation of the enviroment and platforms. So for example if there is some unreachable spot, you may be able to reach it after morphing into the other character as the surroundings will change with you. Now you can get the game with its new standalone expansion, Rise of the Owlverlord. You will get more than your share of jumping, running, dashing, twisting, and morphing there. Add some boss fights and collecting crystals and you have a full picture of these beautiful platformers.
