Run, jump and butt-slide into the glorious toy-filled world of Action Henk! Become a master of momentum and defy physics as you race against a band of ragged 90s action figures! Action Henk is a lightning fast platform-racing game set in a beautifully crafted 3D toy box world, where a cast of classic action figure inspired characters compete to once and for all prove that Action Henk is the fastest of them all! The game challenges players to shave milliseconds off their times by running, jumping and butt-sliding with 5 playable characters across over 70 challenging levels in a game which revels in almost sonic speeds.

Didn't think I would like this game that much, but after a little bit it really clicked. I ended up getting all the achievements. It was frustrating and rewarding at the same time. Not for everyone, but if you're into speed platformers or are interested in getting into them this worked as my gateway.

Boy oh boy, where has this been my whole life and why are there not a thousand of these. Henk caught me totally off guard. I got this in a humble bundle and though it was going to be a silly action figure game. Instead I was rewarded with a very addictive course racing game with tight controls. Its incredibly rewarding getting gold and even more if you can get a rainbow, the tracks are mostly good and the gameplay is solid, highly recommend as a great way to burn some time.

Addictive. You'll be restarting the level over and over just to beat the last score. If you want to gold run each level, you're going to be trying for awhile. Grab this when it's on sale. It's a fun pick up game.

Addictive game play with an overall decent aesthetic. A good enough runner, although I would maybe suggest something like BIt Trip Runner to a newcomer to the genre. If you're a fan of the genre, Action Henk is unlikely to disapoint.

I think I received this as part of a humble bundle or maybe I took a chance on it on a steam sale.
It quickly surprised me with it's fun and addictive game play, reminding me of UniRally/uniracer the old snes classic and has a little micro-machines dna in there too. the difficulty curve is really optimised and there's something to be gained by replaying old levels and learning the timing of each. It can occasionally be frustrating in the later game when jumps have to be timed 99% perfectly or you have to restart the whole map.
I despise the exaggerated grotesque character art style and find it unfunny and not interesting, relying on tropes and stereotypes.|
They could have definitely taken a more stylised approach and looked at real world action figures for inspiration for instance i've never seen a poseable action figure with screws.
I think they could have given unique power-ups to each character, like a batman style glider action figures or teenage mutant ninja turtle style pizza launching action figures.
I do love the movie posters, references and easter eggs throughout the game as they definitely work to sell the idea.
solid 7/10 game , extra fun if you can convince your friends to learn the controls and nuances of gameplay for multiplayer .
