Tales of a Rabbit: The Story of Willie Hop Reviews

Pretty terrible game, as much as I hate to say it. The graphics are very simple which is totally fine and that's not an issue at all. The biggest issue is the huge difficulty straight off the bat and the horrible, awful jumping momentum. Let me give some examples: When you jump while standing still and push a direction like forward, you have almost no momentum at all. This is a HUGE issue because if you want to jump over hazards like the spiked purple plants or whatever, you're gonna land right on top of them if you don't have enough momentum. However, if you have too much momentum, you're just as much in trouble as with no momentum. This is because you have almost no control over your character in mid air. There's also a big issue with getting flung around constantly if you don't take your time. What I mean by this is that, for example, if you jump and accidentally bump your head against something like a roof of a house, you often get flung back and because of this, in my case, it pushed me RIGHT OFF THE STAGE multiple times. Keep in mind that I was not even pressing any directional buttons to move except for the jump key. The difficulty is absolutely insane. Now, I have nothing against challenging and difficult games but this game takes it WAY too far in my opinion. Like I said, you're introduced to extreme difficulty right in the first stage. A great example is you have to travel across excruciatingly narrow platforms that are slimmer and smaller than a straw. On top of that, there are spiked plants EVERYWHERE on these narrow platforms. As for the really narrow platforms, I don't know if this is a graphics issue on my end but I'm pretty sure it isn't. I think it could be intentional but either way, the difficulty still stands, regardless of graphical issues or not. Another really bad thing is that if you get hit, you get chucked backwards or sideways, often making you fall to your death and losing a life, especially on those super narrow platforms. There's also no breathing room/no few seconds of invincibility. Nope. If you get hit and get knocked back into another hazard, you take damage immediately. All this insane difficulty made me quit after really trying my best on the FIRST STAGE. I just kept dying and dying, over and over again. If you lose all your lives, you lose all your progress and you get warped back all the way to the beginning of the stage. At the time of writing this review, I didn't get far at all. No matter how hard I tried. Like I said, I have nothing against difficult games. I like a good challenge but this game goes way over the top with its difficulty. I don't recommend this game. It will definitely make you lose your sanity. It's a big shame because I love 3D platformers where you collect a bunch of stuff like coins.
