Reviews for The Life of Harry (#2873)

Review by dandyboy on 23 Dec 2014 (Rating: 2)

Persia , Egypt , Brazil , Russia , America . . . The Life of Harry is a real tour around the world ! ! !

A shallow and childish idea presented with plain graphics .

Not much of a game but still playable !


2 out of 5 .

I really liked this one.
It's simple, fun and addictive.
I also like the very distinct stylish look of the characters, especially Harry.
It's nice to see something different for a change, even if the overall game is mediocre to average.

You, as Harry, wander all around the world picking up precious things and trying to get out of one screen wide caverns before the oxygen is over.
It's addictive and fun as crushing your pimples, but with the addition of a Loop of Death when you die in the wrong spot - so it's
1/5

I really liked the graphical style, but the game is virtually unplayable due to broken controls. I mean, you HAVE to be pixel-perfect to fit into any vertical passage, and if you will press up or down in the wrong place, the hero will simply stop.

If only the author would allow the hero to move when two keys are pressed, and one of the directions is freeā€¦

It's not fun, it's frustrating. It's a shame, because with only a small fix it could be "average".
