VolChaos

VolChaos is a very cute, charming retro-style platformer that conjures the feel and excitement of some of my favorite console hits of days long gone—legendary games like Mighty Bomb Jack and Kid Chameleon... It is a simple game (as many of the great ones are) but what VolChaos lacks in complex variety it more than makes up for with solid execution, wonderfully creative level design, and pure delicious challenge. This game is very, very accessible to anyone who has ever played Super Mario (or any platformer). I understood *immediately* how to play, with no instructions of any kind. Really nice, smooth controls. Simple, yet beautiful retro-inspired graphics and sound. Tons of killer levels that include the interesting challenge of picking up all the cleverly placed jewels as you rush to avoid the rising lava... Each level has its own "best time" leaderboard, and the times are pretty damn competitive. I give myself mad credit for even getting into the top 100 on some of them. :) VolChaos had me laughing out loud and screaming horrible words at my monitor within minutes of pressing START. This game encapsulates all the wonder and enchantment that made me fall in love with video games, and most impressively does so without any flashy 3D graphics or showers of animated gore. At the price of $2.99 USD, I cannot possibly recommend this game highly enough. Get VolChaos and get ready to rage! :) Gameplay—(10 / 10) Graphics and Sound—(10 / 10) Interface—(10 / 10) Controls—(10 / 10) Style & Fun Factor—(11 / 10) Overall—(10.2 / 10) Most Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!
