I was tempted to dismiss this outright due to the obvious Donkey Kong name reference and even more obvious inspiration for the gameplay, but it holds up. It's a case of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. There are many levels, nice animations and solid controls. If you're itching for more Donkey Kong, scratch here.

It's a simple game that's difficult as can be. Collect all the dots and don't get hit by the stuff that's coming after you. Tons of fun, even if frustrating.
