The game is hard and challenging.. Especially the ++ parts but with the soundtrack and all it’s a e s t h e t i c.

The only issue i had was the little stuttering effect (it’s VHS and all but it’s annoying especially while dodging stuff because you literally move an extra step etc. then restart…)

With all that in mind, i recommend the game and don’t forget to be patient !

Mail Mole + ‘Xpress Deliveries

Mail Mole + ‘Xpress Deliveries

My rating: 7/10

Initially the level design is very basic and easy, perfect for getting the hang of the mechanics of this platformer. Each level is slightly more difficult until you complete the set, then also adds new mechanics and consequence with each new area. Very solid, smart design. Keeps the player engaged and challenged and the overall game from feeling stale.

The timing aspect doesn’t have to be taken seriously if you only want the story, which is great for freedom of choice I think. I see they have support now for Leaderboards and a Speedrun timer, not among my concerns but is cool to see. Makes me wonder if the racing segments could be evolved into an online multiplayer racing game? Happy to see the passion from the developers regardless!

Target Audience: More Laid Back Platforming Fans

Summary:

Mail Mole is worth the price of admission, although it’s one of those games that’s focusing on a sub-set of the platforming lovers of the world. Taking strong influence from games such as Super Mario Sunshine, it’s unique underground movement mechanic provides a solid basis for a game that focuses on more straight forward trap avoidance and speed (at times) more then exploration or combat. Level design may be simple, but it allows focus on the minute details of movement and really, that’s what the game really hinges on in the end, and it did provide me fun for the game’s 5 hour or so run time. The environments are pretty but won’t blow you away, and the game seems like a perfect type of game for younger kids to get them introduced to the world of platformers, while still being enjoyable for adults.

TY the Tasmanian Tiger

TY the Tasmanian Tiger

TL;DR

It’s an amazing blast from-the-past from the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era of 3D Platformers. Very charming, with solid (but easy) platforming, great music, and with some good graphical and camera improvements.

Positives:

  • A classic brought back from the dead! This game is (considered by me and others) a classic from the PS2 era!

  • It’s a solid platformer! Nice tight controls, nothing to horribly hard, and good level design!

  • Quirky characters! From Shazza, to Maurie, to even Ty himself! They all have there own personality and, sometimes they are even funny! (Especially Maurie!) Boss Cass is a legendary villain in my eyes!

Real player with 29.6 hrs in game

Ty The Tasmanian Tiger is essentially a 3D platformer in the style of classics like Super mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Crash Bandicoot and Croc, just to name a few. The game clearly takes inspiration of those and even wears some of the design decisions on its sleeve. Ofcourse there is absolutely nothing wrong with that when its done well.

And well they did!

Let’s look at the pros and cons!

Pros:

–—–

  • Fun and varied gameplay

  • Great and fitting soundtrack for each individual level

  • Cute characters and simple story

I’ve been playing this game since the very, very early versions of the Early Access release, before cameras and costumes were a thing, but I’ve taken a long, long time to write a review, mostly because I’m having a hard time to fully express my feelings about this game. There are way too many things to talk about, which means this is going to be a rather lengthy review, and it might also be all over the place due to the amount of stuff that comes to mind, but let’s dive right in.

I’ve spent most of my teenage years and all of my early adulthood wishing for the “perfect” 3D platformer, one that combined most of the things I like in a single, awesome package. I dreamed of a game with a rich, vast world to explore. It had to have a lot of secrets and tricks to discover, but it also had to have well designed platforming and action to boot, and the atmosphere had to evoke feelings of childlike wonderment and adventurous endeavors in boththe soundtrack, the visuals and the story. The characters had to be adorable and stylish, and the gameplay had to be smooth and thrilling.

Poi is a good Mario clone. End of story now get out of the review section and buy the game if you want to kill a good 32 hours collecting things.

okay that’s not entirely true so read this instead

PLOT

You and your sister run away from the city in order to find Adventure. On your adventure to find adventure you meet up with Mario in his mid 80’s who asks you to get his sonic ring with ribbons attached to it down from a tall stump due to him being a crotchety old man who can’t do it himself. So you jump to the top of the stump, grab his ring and when you bring it back to him he tells you that the ring is called an “Explorers Medallion” and they are foudn all over the world. So he asks you and your sister if you want to get on his magic flying whale blimp to find him and since choice matters as much as it did in TellTale’s Walking Dead Season 1 in this game, you say yes and off the three of you go to go get the Medallions and save the world or something
