Reviews for Highrise Harry (#2322)

Review by kphair on 15 Sep 2011 (Rating: 3)

Platform "Painter" game which succeeds despite horrendous control.

It's a bit like "Painter" but you colour in platforms as you walk over them and it's a bit like "Donkey Kong" except without the gorilla and barrels.

Once you get used to the game mechanics it's actually not too bad and there's enough scope for variety in the screen layouts that makes you want to get further into it. One handy thing to remember is that when standing still Harry will jump in the direction he was last travelling. This makes it much easier to jump over the "nasties".

[edit 21/9/11: Having finally seen gameplay of Miner 2049er, courtesy of Steve Benway, this game is very similar]

With a bit more polish on it this could have been good, but as it stands is just average.
