The latter will probably age horrible in a couple of years time (indeed, there are already a handful of crude, juvenile jokes in there that made me cringe even now), but seeing Tib and Rob get plonked into game world after game world was quite amusing for the most part, and I enjoyed seeing developer La Moutarde’s take on some of the retro classics of my youth. Not only do Tib and Rob get game-appropriate costumes, for example, such as their cuteMega Manand accompanying Rush outfits or their Player-1 / Player-2Contracamo, but each level also looks like a direct homage to the game in question. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles level is a side-scrolling platformer, while theMetal Gearone riffs on the NES game’s opening infiltration sequence.
