Remember Commander Keen ? this game is very similar. its a 2D run and gun platformer and a very solid one for sure. the controls are tight, the difficulty and level design are great. boss battles are fun and great soundtrack too. the game can be completed in a short time depending on your skill level and there are options to choose the difficulty level that suits you. there are some hidden secrets to be found which adds more fun to the game.

This is a fun game. What you see in the store page video is pretty much what you get: run, jump shoot. There are a few limited-shot special guns along the way but I didn't think they added a whole lot to the game play.
There were a few parts that took many tries to get through but the HP and life system is forgiving. And if you run out of lives you only start that level over.
It is very well done. The graphics and music are very nice. I'd like to see a sequel with more weapons, maybe some skills to upgrade, etc.
My Logitech controller worked fine.
My only issues are:
1) When I switched levels, it leaves full screen, makes the mouse visible and puts it in the center of the screen.
2) Sometimes when you fall on spikes or off the bottom of the screen, it puts you on the edge of where you fell off, hanging by your 1-pixel toenails. It's very easy to fall back off again.
3) The boss health does not reset when you lose a life, so you can just keep going back and wear him down. It does reset if you get "Game Over". I'm not sure if it is better this way, but it made the bosses seem a bit too easy. Most of them still gave me a "Game Over" at least once.
I beat it on normal in about 3 hours but I did not go down any of the optional paths for gems or extra lives. There is also a "Professional" and "Childrens" difficulty but I've not tried them yet.

A simple retro platformer. It's a fun and silly short game akin to DOS classic platformers. No real story to it but still worth a play or two!

A short and fun retro inspired game, I don't don't if it was inspired by the Furries/Skweek series, but it's still great fun!

For anyone who has ever played Commander Keen or the Apogee DOS platformers, that is basically what Super Furball is. A skilled player can complete the game on the hardest difficulty level in less than three hours. The levels are well designed, and it's a good bit of fun but the game lacks replay value. Also the Game Over screen looks cheaply made. A good effort for a small team.

It's a shame games like this don't get more attention. Great level design, I love the aesthetics and it controls very smoothly. It's rather short and not nearly as hard as the DOS games it's based off of, but if you don't mind that or even like those things, you'll enjoy this game.

It is in a list of games I call "Time Wasters"
This is not a great game, but most platformers have the same flaws, and I am playing them to kill time.
The graphics are great, and it does capture that DOS feel. I would have liked more variety to the music, but it is what it is.
I see it is on sale right now for $0.51, and for that, I think it is at least worth the time it wastes.
I have plenty of platformers across all of my systems, and I will not feel upset if this one is short and forgiving. I kind of appreciate that I could complete it in one sitting if I honestly wanted to.
