Played a ton of Mutant Night last night…
you may recognize the protagonist Mutant Kun
Its a simple Trot-n-Shot arcade game.
you emit these bubbles from your iris to blast monsters.
You can jump over and over again in the air effectively flying but do it for too long and you have to rest on landing.
Also you cant just not land as you get more tired your jumps get weaker and weaker until you fall out of the air.
There are many very wacky powerups. Some are required to end a level quickly. On continue power ups don’t re-spawn but neither do bosses. Any level over a few screens long has checkpoints.
Most levels are brutal and short. (some are not)
Enemy placement is slightly inconsistent with some random spawns happening from time to time.
Hit boxes are huge.
The game is really funny to me.
Mutant Kun is clumsy and adorable, the enemies are so insanely mean and surprising. Its obviously fucking with you. You just have to be super aggressive and mash through it. If you stay in one place too long killer drones spawn in. The effect of the slight randomness is that you cant simply memorize your movements you have to actually respond to the situation and try to clutch it out.
I “cheated” using the auto fire on my SEGA Powerstick but honestly do it if you plan to play for awhile, it saves your fingers. Doing this on a pad with no autofire would be hand destroying, use a stick.
I love the colors
