Funny I should stumble on this game Max, since not long ago I had posted in a forum thread discussing games like Another World (Out of this World) and Heart of Darkness. Everybody was wishing HoD would come to steam. After playing this demo (and thank you whoever for putting a demo of this up and making it only $2.99 during the steam sale this year!!) I had to have it.

Just over an hour play at this moment (I know, not enough for a proper review) I felt compelled to review it in hopes others will see it in time to play the demo and see how good it is. The cartoonish visuals are excellent and feel familar to any fan of kid's animation. Don't let that stop you though. It starts casual but started to get tougher at about the 1 hour mark for me, in world 2. My favorite thing might be the sound and specifically the voice work. First rate! Max is very vocal the whole way through and it adds enormously to the whole experience, along with the music.

It's been years for me and HoD, so it's hard to properly compare the 2 games without going on an exhaustive hunt for the game disc. But that game immediately came to mind while watching the opening cutscene. Pretty sure it would have even if I hadn't been discussing that old game.

Only slightly over an hour in and this is great fun in short doses. Highly impressed. But even at $2.99 play the demo first to see if the difficultly level is right for you. It does start pretty easy.
