FUCK DUDE RIGHT. This slipped my radar somehow and I just saw a post about it on resetera today and instantly wishlisted it to remember to get tonight. I would have told you about it tomorrow most likely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about making a thread but just never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Okay thank God you can collect hats. This seems pretty damn legit, and it’s eye melting on the oled deck it’s so vibrant (much like Penny). Speaking of Pennys Breakaway, between that, Pepper Grinder, Animal Well, Little Kitty Big Cit-E, and now this game it’s been a great first half for platformers with really varied fun creative mechanics. I’d put Super Princess Peach up there as well and I feel like I’m missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Also just lol at Morio in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 You know it’s different and more free flowing but it kinda reminds me of gripshift on psp if anyone remembers that game from back in the day. That company, Sidhe, is actually still around and kinda successful on the mobile side (Monsters Ate my Condo etc) and recently did a remake of their other classic, Shatter. That is to say, Gripshift Remaster pls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I did 100% of bomb beach last night it’s a level that has more actual crazy taxi like challenges which is fantastic but then it also has a homage to the first Mario64 boss up there at the top and ahhh I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 I have been collecting gears for all the levels but I see there are two checks. Not sure I got the skills for those. Love how crisp the graphics are and the Morio butt shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshsToAshs Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 It's a blast. Works well on the Steamdeck too. My only annoyance is I'm terrible at doing some of the jumps/ramps/harder to reach platforms. AND I WANNA COLLECT IT ALL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Not sure I really understand jumping in this game. Seems inconsistent and I have to mash the buttons and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you do is you interrupt the spin which then flips the taxi creating a jump. Also after the jump you can do another dash and interrupt that for a double jump. And then of course using ramps for some jumps. Definitely takes a little bit to get used to for some of the harder challenges but I think the games ramp puzzles and such might be ruined if you just jumped everywhere.

stepee Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Man I just LOVE how this game looks. It’s like this mishmash of Mario Sunshine, the canceled Sonic Xtreme and Crazy Taxi in an overall style that tech wise feels like a ps2 era game influenced by Saturn visuals. Also I noticed the sky is the skybox is this sonic-esque 2D parallax sprite background that looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
