Mutant Mudds Super Challenge

This action platformer can be a fun game for players looking for a challenge, but its difficulty and lack of depth will probably keep most gamers away. There's nothing inherently wrong with Mutant Mudds Super Challenge because the controls are excellent and the graphics are pleasing, but nothing's really that spectacular, either. The game's slow pace and repetitive obstacles may be all too familiar to those who have played any classic platformer. But the gameplay provided by the limited mechanics is quite enjoyable. The controls are tight; the puzzles are tough yet solvable; and the level layouts require players to change their tactics regularly. All the building blocks are there for a perfect platformer, but the game falls flat with its easy boss fights and lack of variety in gameplay.

Also overshadowing the game is its difficulty, which is apparent from the very start of the game. It starts off hard and only gets harder as the enemies grow in number and the traps become more devious. Some near pixel-perfect jumps and ducking are necessary to succeed, and checkpoints are far and few between. Because of this, you'll probably have to restart many times to beat each level, which could discourage anyone from finishing the game. But if you love a challenge or you think you can handle the steep spike in difficulty for the game, you'll be enthralled with the rigorous gameplay of Mutant Mudds Super Challenge paired with its awesome 8-bit soundtrack.
