The player is put in the role of Bruno, an anthropomorphic pig who has the task to defend his land which is currently under siege by wolves. Bruno comes equipped with a sword and the ability to throw donuts that he finds throughout the six levels of the game. Bruno also has the ability to jump and to also butt slam crates. No description of this game would be complete without mentioning the blowholes which are liberally sprinkled throughout each level. These blowholes will lift Bruno in the air so that he will be able to get to higher plateaus that he simply couldn't get to by just jumping normally.

Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 9: Piko Interactive Collection 1

I'll admit my expectations were sub-nuclear looking at this absolutely ugly ass-stain of a game and... yeah it unfortunately met them. Its a fairly standard nothingburger platformer that feels like somebody desperately wanted to ape the gameplay of Aladdin but without any of the pesky licensing attached.

It doesn't do it well at all and oh lord. Levels are bland and endless, animations are stiff, attacks from enemies don't account for hitstun, the main character's basic sword swing has no range and is like waving a feather duster around, the butt bounce is utterly pointless and has a weird arc to it when running and its all covered in the ugliest goddamn spritework to ever hit my eyes.

Just yuck.

Resumidamente é um acidente de carro.

Acho a arte torta dele bem legalzinha mas o resto nada presta. Fica aí um destaque negativo para a hit box que funciona quando quer.
