The Adventure of Little Ralph is a 2D platformer. In this game the player controls Ralph, who has been turned back into a child by the evil demons who have invaded his homeland. In order to stop them and return to his former self, he must get through each area filled with enemies, traps, and many hidden routes. Ralph is armed with swords and various magic powers and also has the assistance of a small furry companion. The game's levels are interconnected, unlike the "stages" of most other platform games.

muy guapo en algún momento me haré el true ending
Oooooookay... Can I start by saying that this game is kinda horrifying?
Ralph doesn't just bounce up and down the screen like Mario or Sonic when losing a life, oh no. This poor kid gets impaled, crushed(both of these complete with blood splashes), vored and digested by slimes, burnt to a crisp, petrified and eaten by maggots with his SKULL flying out once they're done, jesus christ.
I guess 7 year old me playing this didn't really understand what was going on, because I definitely didn't remember this part of the game lmao
With that out of the way... It's alright. Very old school. 1-hit deaths unless you grab a shield around the stages, power-ups you lose after death, score fruits all over the place and uh... Also a fighting game?
Yeah, from Stage 4 or so onwards, bosses turn into traditional fighting game battles. That caught me by surprise, but throwing out not-Hadoukens and not-Shoryukens to beat their asses was oddly endearing.
What isn't oddly endearing is the difficulty spike akin to a glass-covered hamburger on the last stretch of 8-3, what the fuck was up with that. Precision platforming to the extreme; thank god you can use continues...
The soundtrack is very bouncy and catchy, but the instruments kinda suck. It sounds like someone having a lot of fun with a cheap Casio keyboard at times.
Fun game, but 8-3 can go die in a fire. And the death animations were somewhat offputting in a game like this, even if it did get a laugh out of me.

An excellent tribute to the tough-as-nails arcade platformer, while still making some allowances for home play to make up for an extended runtime and a "true ending" reachable by playing on Hard mode only. Some truly bullshit sections, though.
Gostosinho e generoso
Jogão muito bom, se perdeu no tempo porque deveria ter sido melhor se fosse lançado no Super Nintendo.
A slight novel, but relatively frustrating platformer. Gorgeous artwork and some neat boss battle gimmicks aside, I found the game quite frustrating to play. The loose nature of how Ralph controls and a lot of how fast the game moves make it a very twitchy experience which I didn't enjoy very much.
