The VR experience is a nice extra but the core of the game is the old school action platformer (based on a POGO-esque webcomic) that offers a very reminiscent experience to the original Popeye arcade machine of the early 80s. In this regard the gameplay delivers a similar experience with superior and amusing sprite animations. The game is considerably more forgiving then the original arcade its patterned after though, which might be a drawback for the hardcore arcade rats. At the paltry base price it's an easy recommendation to old school arcade game fans.
[h1] Simple arcade game that plays like Popeye. Collect letters, avoid gator and pick up power ups to smack him down. Mostly you repeat loop of 3 different stages. I did not notice any difficulty variations. Game have nice sprites and what is done is well made but it's like repeating same thing over and over again. Make sure to check out official site with some decent comics related to the game. Sounds of arcade cabinet playing and pressing buttons is top notch. However I think there's not enough content to recommend. [/h1]

Don't forget to visit the webcomic (yes, there is a comic!) that the game is based on. Website: http://gonechoo.tumblr.com A good starting place to archive binge: http://gonechoo.tumblr.com/post/84794168577/premiere-strip
Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Showcase level of depth for what feels like a tech demo of an arcade cabinet. Game inside that cabinet was unengaging. You are trapped in a small room with the arcade game. There are a few decorative assets but otherwise its locked doors and a small empty room. The arcade game itself feels unsatisfying. It is sort of an atari2600 donkey kong derivative where you have to basically play cat and mouse until you fill up on collectibles. The hitboxes for capture are annoying, and you cannot actually trick jump out of reach and can only evade through pre-existing changes in Z levels. Xbox 360 pad detected and working correctly. As a simulation it is not all that bad audiovisually, the arcade game itself just kind of disappointed rendering the whole experience moot and the game feels a bit like clutter as a result. Xbox 360 pad detected and working correctly.
Just an old, lame arcade game.
Gli sviluppatori volevano creare un gioco capace di ricordare i titoli arcade del NES degli anni '80. Ci sono riusciti, peccato che nel 2016 ci si aspetti qualcosa di più che un gioco lento e monotono in 2D. Riprendere dal passato può essere uno spunto molto interessante se e quando gli elementi "vintage" si uniscono ai concetti più moderni di videogaming, per Gon E-Choo questo non è successo (e non si è nemmeno tentato). Peccato. Voto: 3/10
Please play this game! It's a delightful trip to the 80s in a perfect homage to the games of the time ♡
So... "Popeye: Furry Edition" basically. Haha I'm kidding. I'm glad this was made and inspired by the Popeye arcade game from 1983 because there really are no other games like that. The power-up tune is catchy and the characters and level design are very much enjoyable. Now I will say I use "Game Only" mode just because I don't feel that the VR arcade room portion, whatever you wanna call that, is really necessary. We have "New Retro Arcade" on Steam which is already phenomonal in my opinion. But a really cool feature to say the least. I haven't used that webcam "reflection" option yet, but I could imagine that could really make it feel like you're actually there playing a real arcade cabinet. Overall, this is a fun game. I still love the Popeye arcade game today, and Gon 'E-Choo! is an awesome nostalgic addition to my Steam library.. ^_^
Amusing arcade game kinda reminiscent of Burger Time or Arabian but with larger sprites and more animation. (If you have a small monitor, check in the ESC menu and you can set it to show the playfield full screen.)
Prendere spunto dai giochi del passato è una bella idea, ma riproporli tali e quali e addirittura senza nemmeno l'audio è cosa ben peggiore. Che dire; appena avviato mi sembrava un'idea carina, ma dopo averci giocato mi sono pentito di averlo fatto. La monotonia fa da padrona ed il gioco è LENTO, ma LENTO. SCONSIGLIATO. Voto 2/10
