Abacus

Abacus is an excellent new take on classic 2D platforming. A perfect mix of story, heart, fun & tricky gameplay and 2D platforming at it's best. Secret areas, collectables, witty narrative, it's all here. But it doesn't stop there, the multiplayer is addictive and can get pretty heated! With a variety of game modes on tap, I've managed to lose hours blasting my mates and capping flags. The soundtrack will get stuck in your head and the art style will charm you into forgetting any frustrations you may have after missing that jump for the 5th time haha! A great buy for 2D platform veterans and new comers alike.

Abacus may seem like a simple retro platformer, but underneath its cute and charming surface is a deep and unique game. The campaign levels each have their own unique challenges and mechanics, making completing them very rewarding. The weapons are inventive and fun to use, and the care that has been taken in designing them becomes clear in the multiplayer, in which you have to pick the right one for each situation and try your best to survive the mayhem. It even has a level editor! Cannot recommend highly enough.
