What players say
I HIGHLY recommend this game. It's really cheap, even if you don't get it on sale, and if you do, $0.99 for what is essentially a little over 2 hours of a great arcade experience is absolutely worth it. Warning: Spoilers contained below!!! The upgrades are impactful and useful, if you play wisely, you'll find yourself rarely ever using the healing item (I only ever used a single one and it was for the final level)...

a very stupid and wonderful game that i loved when the xbox live arcade was still a thing
Don't buy the game. The reasons for this a very simple. Instead of just shooting lots of birds with different guns you have a platformer. An jump mechanics are broken in a very simple way - whenever you press the jump button on the keyboard, you don't jump. Or you do a token jump. or you do the full jump. Or you jump but stop moving. The game is broken. Don't buy.
