TAL: Jungle Reviews

meh

Fun little jungle-themed maze game.

i had finished this game in one go

Really, really "dated". And it only came out yesterday! A solid 35.3 MBs of stone-cold un-a-maze-ing mediocrity, that probably would'a bored the bejesus out of eight-year-olds back in the early 80s. Anyone who bothers to play all sixty levels gets a free pass into Heaven when they die, and receives one o' them bright, shiny "halo" thingies as a bonus. For the rest of us: alright for a half-hour and a handful of Achievements, I guess. And you gotta love a game that only has four buttons to learn (literally WASD to move). Actually, who am I kidding? I'll probably slowly dawdle my way through to 100% Achievements - it can't be much more than an hour long, anyway - and [i]still[/i] wind up in Hades at the end of it all. Such is life. Verdict: 5.5/10 (the extra .5 is for the admittedly awesome two-track soundtrack, which is honestly what I bought the game for in the first place. What can I say? I'm a sad, sad soundtrack junkie, boys and girls. Whatever you do, [i]don't[/i] turn out like me)! UPDATE: Okay, so I just aced it. It's fine, really, and actually has some mildly clever later level design that plays upon players expectations from earlier levels (i.e. red herrings). Definitely no great shakes, but perfectly worthy of the price being asked. I'll up the Verdict a smidgen in accordance. Revised Verdict: 6/10.

Would only recommend if you get it on sale or as part of a bundle. It's a simple maze game with a bunch of achievements (1 for each level). There are a few minor obstacles (and timers) on some of the levels to make things more interesting.

TAL: Jungle was fine until level 26 which started 5 50-second timed levels with traps. I almost quit but decided to try again and made it through all 5. Was fine again until level 37... trap levels but this time the limit was 40 seconds. That's when I quit! I play games to relax... not get frustrated and stressed out. So if you don't like timed games, skip this one!

Well...... it doesn't offer much play time, but it did make me think about the "GOOD OLD DAYS" when games were as simple as up, down, left and right. The hardest thing about this game is timing. But it kept me busy and will probably keep the kids busy as well.
