Looney Landers

I absolutely love these retro games this is the 3 in the series.just so much fun especially if you are playing with a friend or family member.i was a child of the 80 so this is my of cup of tea so it might appeal to me more then most.but saying that if you are looking for a super night of gaming that the whole family can enjoy please give this a go its just so much fun.

Looney Landers is a fantastic short competitive sky diving arcade game with a throwback look and feel of the 1980's but gameplay and design that is rock solid for the modern era. I'm a big fan of this developer's games, and this is one takes a lot of the score-multiplying objectives of previous games like Donut Dodo and Cash Cow DX and uses it to provide a real skill challenge to get the best score. Very tough to do! But possible. Easy one button and joystick gameplay. Don't fumble a dive, don't die, get the star multiplier to carry your combo multiplier across levels, eat the bonus point objects. Chaotic and fun. The developer's intention to release further levels and gameplay modes is also great news. Worth buying regardless.

Perhaps the most fun SARL-S game yet! Looney Landers is all about minute control of your diver, and learning when to fall, deploy your parachute, and the bouncing physics is so rewarding. The steeper-than-usual learning curve leads to high skill expression after some hours, and the amount of control you have over your diver will start to be apparent. What might appear to be super random at first slowly becomes very consistent, and mastering the movement system and improving in-moment decision making will get you higher and higher scores. Having a CPU competitor at all times makes you always have to decide, should I go for the big score now? Or should I try to get some easier ones real quick before the CPU can get it? So many micro decisions per run, and I find it to be the perfect mix of random scenarios that skill can shine through. For sure worth it!

I really like these arcade throwback indie games so I was incredibly dissapointed when this game turned out to be super duper mid. The gameplay loop is insanely short and not that engaging. Sure as ♥♥♥♥ not worth £6.99.
