Today we have a super special review! This harkens back to my first review for Gamer guys and gals Kid Tripp! Coming at ya today is a boy and his dog with a challenge bigger then you'd imagine ahead of them.
Miles and kilo is a platformer with some runner stages mixed in, think Emeril Emeril largesse "BAM". ( if you're old enough to get this joke you likely will like this game.) M&K is rather simple at its core yet refines many things in its genre. This time around we have a story, Miles and Kilo were flying in there plane and end up crashing on the island. Now parts of the plan have been taken by the inhabitants The controls are tight and responsive. Much like its younger brother everything does feel like its all you when you clear a stage that was all you. When you die it was for sure your fault.
M&K is very much an evolution and successor to Kid Tripp. All the mechanics and design remain intact. Even down to the water skipping mechanic! (There's even a single segment that hints at this. Almost like Michael knew someone had talked about it.) What's new and refreshing is the boss stages, or rather boss runs. These are runner segments that incorporate ways to use the mechanics you have learned to there fullest. These are also super efffffffing hard mind you. Much like the 5 different worlds, this helps shake things up and keep you in it. Replacing unlimited rocks for fruit is a nice switch keeping you from relying to much on one tactic.
Yet again we have Chris Kukla on music. This isn't a new wave sound nor is this mind-blowing it is however simply chiptune at it's finest. The music allows for finding much-needed cues in runner levels and compliments the visuals making it all feel nostalgic. The last thing to go over here is this game highly speeds runnable due to its spot on harmonious design. The game even grades based on time and fruit as well as coins gathered. M&K is perfect in length and design to scratch a retro itch, same with the difficulty.
Pros:
It's retro at it's simplest l, platforming.
Everything about the design is just nice.
It just feels good to watch old school cutscenes and gameplay
Very speed runnable
Cons:
Is super hard
Can be buggy
Mechanics aren't always clear in how they work
With this all said I give this game a final rating of:
8.0/10
M&K is a jolly good time that will remind you have after school days or early Saturday morning, add chocolate milk and some high caliber cartoons to complete the experience. If anything M&K will get you get in touch with your inner child. Take a minute to breath and take a break from the world for a moment and enjoy your Tripp...err trip.… Expand
