Muffy's Great Escape - fun 2d vertical scrolling game

review from ClifNotes, Nov 2006, permalink _ Games

Muffy's Great Escape is a very nice old style game which you may find very challenging. I plan on keeping it around for my nieces and nephews so that they can see what the old games were like. The game is downloaded as a zip file about 5mb in size. To install it, all you need to do is unzip it and double click on the exe file.

This is my personal tribute to the games I used to play when I was young; technically it's a (quite unusual) vertical scrolling platform game, easy and immediate.

The purpose of the game is very simple: at the beginning of each level you are at the bottom of a "tower"; soon the screen begins scrolling down and you have to jump to reach the top and sound the bell which is there. If you fall down or touch the enemies, you'll loose one life. The game has 3 levels of difficulty which basically change the scroll speed of the screen (you can modify skill level in the option screen).
