Mutant Mudds Deluxe

Date played: June 29th
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 5/10

Mutant Mudds looks cool, that's for sure
Mutant Mudds Deluxe is a minuscule download at around 35MB on Vita. It was free with PS+, so I gave it a quick download to try it out. While it looks really cool with it's great looking, 2D retro pixel look, it also plays like a number of 90's platformers trying to emulate Mario and Sonic's success. The hero wields a water gun and must destroy alien enemies with it while navigating platforms. The twist is that the guy can swap between a far, medium and close plane at set points. It doesn't really change much aside from the look though. I played through the first level, gathered all the collectibles and found the secret exit. I'm probably going to try this again, but so far, it doesn't really impress.
