For an Xbox Live Indie game, you'd be surprised it isn't an Xbox Live Arcade game. Retro indeed!

For a retro esque game, it sure does keep you coming back. There isn't much to explain about this game, it's a polished 2d Mario esque game. You jump through enemies, platforms, etc; to collect coins and bombs before time runs out of each stage.

I would suggest looking up some videos of the gameplay because it is virtually the same in all levels to a degree, just different obstacles to navigate through but same objectives. No save option however, which is better for that retro feel. You shouldn't be able to save to a point where you can F around without consequences, like the original platformer games like Mario or Sonic, etc.

So for fans of the old retro side scrollers, this is a must get IMO, especially with the price of only 240 MS points. Unfortunately, there are no achievements since it is an Indie game. So if you got left over MS points you don't know what to do with, use 'em on this title!
