Sir Noggin

Cute characters and nice colorful pixel art but they can’t hide the fact that the gameplay is overly repetitive, and often feels deliberately frustrating because enemy placement is almost always hostile in a way that is designed to interrupt me. I can seldom make a smooth jump across a gap or onto a platform without an enemy suddenly appearing or dashing at me the moment I press the jump button. I completed the game in less than an hour, but the experience was never enjoyable because I constantly had to stop, lure, kill, wait, and repeat. Each area includes 3 stages, the first 2 are so similar they really should be made into one, and you still need to pass through similar maps again to face the boss in the end. On top of that, the game lacks consistency, for example, the spiked ceiling in the lava area appears in one room, disappears in the next, and then shows up again later without adding anything. Besides, many areas feel too similar with nearly identical enemies. I pushed myself to keep going, the snowy mountain level feels a bit better with at least strong wind that slows movement, but the rest are nothing fresh. The boss fights are disappointing. Aside from the final boss, the others are merely oversized versions of regular enemies with long health bars. Their attack patterns are simplistic, making the gameplay tedious and boring. By the end the game left me with an impression that the developers know how to create nice visuals, but not how to design a good gameplay.

Sir Noggin is a colorful and enjoyable platformer that made me feel like I was in the early 90s all over again. The pixel art is very colorful and charming, the music is very good and the game controls perfectly. It took me about an hour to play through but there are some extra challenges and a boss rush mode that'll keep you busy a tad longer. The level designs are varied, there's some fun sub-weapons to try out and while there's a tiny bit of challenge I think this is overall an easier platformer. If you're looking for a fun platformer that plays similar to retro classics, you should play this for sure. Video review: https://youtu.be/JcoibD7OQpo

Soy un seguidor fiel de Sinclair Strange desde que probé por primera vez uno de sus juegos: ALIEN SPLATTER REDUX. En cuanto lo jugué, me pareció una auténtica joya oculta de Steam, imprescindible para cualquier amante de los títulos retro con mecánicas y estética inspiradas en los clásicos de la NES. Entre todos mis amigos fui el único que supo apreciar el verdadero potencial de este diseñador, y pasé horas analizando cada detalle de su jugabilidad y diseño. El juego me fascinó, aunque todavía lo tengo pendiente de completar: me quedé atascado en un jefe y no lo he vuelto a intentar. Sin embargo, la obra que tenemos hoy supera incluso aquella experiencia, con un nivel gráfico y un colorido increíbles que evocan los mejores tiempos de los salones recreativos. Al principio me ha parecido bastante sencillo, pero imagino que, conforme avance, la dificultad irá aumentando. Títulos como este son los que me hacen amar el PC. De hecho, mi última adquisición ha sido un equipo sencillo, de menos de 500 euros, únicamente para poder disfrutar de este tipo de juegos con pixel art clásico. No soy muy aficionado a los juegos en 3D; perdónenme, pero me considero de la vieja escuela. Aunque mi habilidad como jugador no sea la mejor, no pienso apartarme de esta línea de videojuegos. Si alguien revisa mi biblioteca de Steam, verá que la mayoría de mis juegos siguen este estilo. Alguno que otro en 3D lo tengo por mis sobrinos, para que puedan jugar y experimentar distintos géneros, pero yo solo tengo ojos para esos gráficos. Amo el pixel art, y Sinclair Strange es uno de mis autores favoritos. Alien Splatter Redux, Crypt Stalker, Jet Gunner, Fist Slash: Of Ultimate Fury, Sir Noggin son juegos que avalan avalan mis palabras. Gracias por crear estas joyas imprescindibles.

A fun little platformer I found via following coda on Spotify. The game has nods to all the great classic platformers in its gameplay, enemies and environments. Platforming veterans will blast through the game and extras with ease, but difficulty isn't the aim here. Buy Sir Noggin if you want a few hours well spent.

I'm really enjoying this colourful callback to my childhood. Not an overly complex game, but it doesn't need to be. It has enough to warrant a play through (maybe more if I decide I want to go for higher scores or perfect run achievements) and it's one I'm looking forward to playing with my daughter. The 8-bit retro gaming soundtrack makes me very happy.

Удивительно, но мне зашло. Довольно неплохая игра платформер

Very cute, short, retro style platformer. It plays really well, has good music and is very satisfying to play. Definitely recommend and no complaints.

Short and sweet, perfect simple game for a simple afternoon. The soundtrack by coda is nice too. Worthy of its small price.

Great short platformer that will remind players of gems from the Master System era with a more modern handling feel. It's simple and to the point, with a great soundtrack and great graphics.

A breezy, fun, very short 2D platformer with really good graphics and music to the Sega Master System. It's also really easy to master this game.
