Default The Killing Game Show

This was an oldschool walk around shooter for Amiga, Sega Genesis and such.
So I thought, a simple game from simpler times, what can go wrong.
Well, what COULD go wrong is: the lack of direction where you are supposed to be heading.


You see, the levels have a time-limit by some rising - obviously lethal - waterlevel. So you obviously try to go up.


But you can't just jump on the platforms above you, oh no.
Yiou need to find the spots that let you upward either by placing the platforms very close at level, or by some weird 90 degree angle platforms you just walk like it's nothing surprising.
The bad part is, many times you got like 5 screens in a direction, and the only way to go that way - is down!


So I ssume you should "learn the level", in what is a fast-paced envirnomnent, and that's where I say no.


Kontra, and Castlevania were obvious coin-eaters, but this - this is somehow even worse.
