About Tommy Play:
It’s a classic side scroller. The graphics are really crisp and sharp. It can be beaten without tricks. The enemies are varied, as are the weapons. Stages are varied, although more so in the second half of the game. It’d be a game you could let your kid play. The longer you play, the more you’ll get used to the controls and enjoy playing. It’s got some bugs. It suffers from a severe lack of polish. Some levels you’ll have to restart simply because you used keys on doors that are pointless (trial and error). The controls take a bit to get used to due to a weird jump that has you glide down Overall, it’s not one I’d recommend, but it’s not as bad as some of the reviews indicate. I mean, if you got it for a dollar or two…it’s worth it. This is a game I really wanted to like. I have a soft spot in my gamer heart for cartoony platformers. This looked like such a great Keen-esque platformer that I bought it on blind faith. Bad mistake. It’s a horribly simplistic, buggy exposition of what it looks like when a video game is made from the ground up to hit a marketing goal. Someone said “old school is in right now, Halloween is cool, push this game out” and this horrible thing was patched together as quickly as possible. I’m pretty disappointed in both Interplay and Steam for signing off on the distribution.
