Hey, every game developer ever - first-person platforming isn't actually that hard to do - they had it down cold in '95. It's called, have your guy look straight down after he jumps. And give him a triple jump. And make him a cute robot rabbit named "Robbit". You fuckin dummies.

To me, this is the Platonic ideal of an early PS1 game. Crack open your longbox case, plug in your non-DualShock controller and go back in time, brother. I played this for the first time in like 2010 and it still makes me nostalgic for the PlayStation I never had.

It's short and it's easy. The simple graphics and easter-egg-packed, playground levels prefigure future greats like KATAMARI DAMACY. The platforming is designed with perfect math such that you can seemingly make every jump you think you might be able to. It looks like it's made out of milk cartons. It's probably the best pure 3D first-person platformer ever. Which is funny because it's also close to the first.

Love this shit.
