Sometimes you give games a chance.
In Mr. Bree's case, that may have been a bad idea.
The game looked kinda like Super Meat Boy, so I figured "sure, for $4, why not?" Well, while I've only played a few levels, it kinda sucks. The game runs at 30fps, and feels really slow. For a game that's about acrobatic jumps and running through stages quickly, that's a very bad thing. And the levels are so visually cluttered with stuff that you can't even tell where the obstacles are a lot of the time. Dumb.
The level designs aren't too impressive so far, either. The game has small stages, a la Super Meat Boy, but puts a bunch of checkpoints in them so that if you die, you don't have to replay... well, anything. The problem is that as a result, there is absolutely no tension, whatsoever. If you make it through a dicey segment and don't have any incentive to continue your perfect run, where's the stress? In a platformer that doesn't boast any interesting mechanics, and that's solely about jumping and running, that's about as big of a problem as you can possibly have.
In conclusion, Mr. Bree is a worthless game that didn't need to exist, and I feel like I just funded terrorism by buying it.
