Uchuu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade is fun.
It’s an action platformer.
It’s a little janky in places. They probably didn’t have a lot of development time.
It’s a licensed game for an anime that came out the same year.
What stands out is verticality.
Up and attack fires a grappling hook straight up.
Once attached to a ceiling you can go up and down with it, and jump off it.
You can also attack while hanging from it.
Down and jump makes you do a super jump that takes you up two and a half screens!
You can’t move left or right during a super jump so this is only useful when combined with the grappling hook.
It’s otherwise pretty simple. You have a slash attack with your blade. Bosses are big.
Standard action platformer fare, but I like it.
