Date played: May 5th
Platform: 3DS
Time played: 30 minutes
Session fun rating: 9/10
Mutant Mudds is a simple, retro looking 2D platformer. It's challenging, uses 3D effects well and is just a lot of fun. The hero is a little blonde dude with glasses and a little gun. The enemies are brown blobs. The environments are Super Mario Bros like. The guy has a hover jump. These features are all very generic. The only "hook" in the game is that there are little jump pads scattered about that allow the hero to jump to the foreground or background of the game. It's a really cool effect and it mixes things up a little. There are also enemies that move between the three planes to makes things even cooler on the 3DS screen.
I played the four levels in the demo and really enjoyed my time with the game, some of the levels were pretty tough. At 9$ on the eShop, this seems like a good proposition so maybe I'll buy it sometime.
