I love mascot platformers, I really do, but Aero the Acro-Bat is not a good one, even when it has all the right elements.

Aero is a circus bat, who's only attack is a divekick basically downwards or upwards. This means, that you need to dispatch enemies with this attack and also use it for platforming.

The problem here, at least for me, is that the level design is not the best, and sometimes really confusing (looking at you pillars).

Also, the movement is really floaty, Aero is very hard to properly control, but the animations and the overall look of the game is pretty decent.

There are also objectives for levels, so the game is at least tries to be fresh.

There is also a sequal and a spin-off so I will definetly checking out those too.
