Hoo-Boy

Hoo-Boy is a simple platformer in which the player must collect three coins and reach the end of the level. The game is controlled by only four buttons that are responsible for movement.

Mildly recommended for precision platformer fans. Note: Ignore the older reviews, this game now has more levels and other improvements since it was released. I had fairly low expectations and this exceeded them, but not by much. The graphics are clean and the levels are decent, especially some of the challenging sections later on. There are extra incentives to explore as well, such as three coins per level and hidden secrets which unlock cosmetic upgrades for your character. With that in mind, the controls can feel a bit rigid and there is a little too much reliance on being on edges of platforms later on, plus I never like when I can't see ahead and have to learn by dying just to see where the next platform is. Also, the character animation is a bit staggered, made me think there was a frame drop when moving (nothing major), but the other animations seem fine. For the price point, the short length and lack of features is forgiven and the game was ok overall and a bit challenging towards the later levels, just don't expect too much.
