Reviews for Nifty Lifty (#3409)

Review by Raphie on 22 Feb 2011 (Rating: 4)

Incredibly simple and fun game! I instantly got into this game. A charm to play and pretty tough to master, it certainly had me hooked for a good wee bit.

An incredibly simple game that utilises just 2 keys.The idea is to get to the top of the screen, avoiding the lifts in the middle. Nifty Lifty indeed.

A simple concept: run on the platforms taking all the objects, ascend automatically at the end of each of them, and beware while you're passing through their central part, because there's a sort of killer elevator going up and down, who could lethally hit you. Arrived at the top, you're onto the next level, where the bad elevators augment, along the same vertical line, but even other lines start to appear. It's smoothly done, but the concept is not exactly exciting, and I can't see what should make people get back for more. The main sprite is the usual appearing in other 2389293 Visions Software Factory games. Probably he has even got a name, but I don't know it. No more than 3/5.

Although there isn't a name for the series in which this game could be included, it's hard not to recognize the player character and the game mechanics from both 'Nifty Lifty', '1994 - Ten Years After' and 'Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes'. And probably the main character as it's own name like user WhenIWasCruel suggested.

The game itself is quite addictive, simple but fun, like any good old arcade game. But I find too annoying to be fully enjoyable. You have to constantly keep track of the character movement because he only stops after collision with something and the lifts changing of direction is too random sometimes. Still, a worthy straightforward action game.

Quite a fun and enjoyable game, very simple and charmful, the main gripe I have with it is it quickly repetitive. But I enjoyed this game nonetheless.
