Starts out ok until you reach the level \/ boss choice and that's when you see that it's more Mega Man like. I liked the Mega Man games, but the gameplay feels sluggish. Your character looks like they're runniing in slow motion.. meh it's pretty cool and a good play but someone needs to make a sin video for it Reading *ding. I am a big fan of Jeremy's work. I really enjoyed the book, so when I first learned about this game, I knew I was going to buy it. These are my unbiased thoughts of the game so far.Pros:- Good looking graphics, somewhat reminiscent of Mega Man games.- Beautiful background music.- The gameplay works well, starting off fairly easy, then sending you into a real challenge quickly.- The boss fights are a nice challenge, taking me a few tries to beat them.- A wide variety of powers at your character's disposal.Cons:- Lack of customization for characters.- Only half of the levels are currently available.- You can't control where the fireballs go. There are times where you want to hit a certain enemy, but they will go after a different one.- The hand blasters can only fire directly in front of you. I wish you could control the direction in which you fire like you do with the laser eyes.- I never like it when enemies in a game follow a pattern, preferring that they react to the player. Some of them do that, but a good chunk of them don't.- During the boss fight in the Beach Cave, there is a point where it's impossible to avoid taking damage, that being after he summons the mini Supernovas then uses his powers to fly to the other platform at the top of the screen.- During the Transportation Center level, the difficulty seems to suddenly spike too high out of nowhere.- Also during this level, the game will start lagging when a lot of enemies spawn at once.- As you're entering the boss fight of this level, there is a glitch where sometimes the screen will leave without you, automatically killing you.Sins:- What's the point in having super strength as an optional power if punching becomes obsolete once you obtain the hand blasters? There should be a way to switch between blasting and punching.- During the first level, why is it that none of the other students are doing anything? Why do they just stand there until they see me, then give me their powers so I can do all the work?- Where were the teachers during all of this?- During the Downtown level, why is the player running in the middle of the street instead of on the sidewalk? They could avoid the cars a whole lot easier this way instead of jumping over them.- Game does not contain a lap dance.Overall thoughts:This game has a lot of potential. At only $9.99 (though I bought it during the holiday sale) it is a definite purchase. It does have quite a few problems that need to be fixed, but I'm sure that once they are, this game will be all the more enjoyable.. Note: pretty much a review-in-progress, will probably be updated when important patches are coming.Gameplayit is kept simple through the whole game.In the Tutorial you can easily test out all of the powers (and get a exposition by bullies about your powers).Through most of the game, you jump around,try to hit the robots while you evade their shots.A few nice mechanics like death rays and moving platforms are placed in the world.SoundNicely done. It ties in with the atmosphere of the gameand doesn't distract too much.The sfx are very nice as well (but the sound of one enemy seems to be cut off, the flying little enemy).GraphicsModelled completely in 3D this 2.5D side scroller has impressive graphics.They look beautiful, but they don't distract.Additional Notes:The Boss fights are really a sudden change of difficulty.. so be prepared.Sometimes little bugs happen (like one-sided invisible walls or missing collision), but they are mostly minor.(Not sure about this one) The ability to punch is pretty much disabled through most of the game.. even tough it is one of the main characteristics of two powers.Currently only 3 levels plus tutorial are available.. It's real fun!!! I enjoyed the book and I am sure I will enjoy the game as well. Needs a save\/checkpoint feature ASAP, I had to quit and now I must play from the begging!Also, in the controls there are button to change between powers but it doesn't seem to work for the time!
