What players say
I was shocked when I found out it's really good. For just one buck, I expected something very low quality and memey. Tcheco may be a bit of the latter, but it's very high quality. The difficulty reminds me of old NES games, especially since there's no saving. There is a code to get extra lives (which again reminds me of those old NES games, like the Contra code), but even with it I still haven't beat this game...
