Raider Kid é um minivania feito com tanto amor, que todos deveriam jogar, rápido, intuitivo e com desafios variados, terminar ele me deixou extremamente feliz. Desde os primeiros protótipos o jogo já se mostrava promissor e todo o esforço de compensou. Todo o time está de parabéns.
Had a great time in one sitting with this one. Lovely nostalgia and just very nice to play.
Great bite sized metroidvania

Great little faux-"gameboy color" metroidvania, with nice controls, good challenges, puzzles that will have you backtracking and circling areas until you have your epiphany moment. It never gets too hard, but you will likely find yourself replaying parts of the level and having to recollect items. One will learn quickly to return to a save point whether it's convenient or not. Short and sweet, with some fun goofy humor. I'd buy a sequel in a moment - I really enjoyed it!
The game is a very cool, funny, and interesting take on the MetroidVania genre but short, micro even (MicroVania?). It works greatly on a mobile device and friendly for every kind of player
This gem is going to age well in a few years. Very similar style to Öoo which was 10/10 aswell. Totally recommend, a great mini metroidvania with great mechanics considering the map and secrets. It has a lot of secrets. Music and bosses were cool. Great game.
Very fun short and sweet mapslop. Takes 3-4 hours to complete. Movement is slick and the soundtrack is great. There is nothing crazy innovative here but the game is extremely well polished and has a lot of soul. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
I LOVE SHORT GAMES!!!! I WANT MORE GAMES THAT I CAN BEAT IN A SINGLE AFTERNOON!!!! Extremely well-crafted. I can't think of a single thing this title does wrong. The GBC presentation is super charming.
Can be 100% in 90 minutes or so just playing normally. Very short, but good while it lasts.
Short and sweet and very fun little metroidvania. Doesn't do a lot new but more than makes up for it with it's charm, graphics, and enjoyable world. Great way to spend an evening, especially if you grew up on Game Boy Color games.
