    Absurdamente difícil. No se merece las críticas positivas que tiene. No mencionan la dificultad que tiene y que no se puede modificar. El único truco es dejarte matar hasta que te dan 2 escudos, con lo que llevo 1300 muertes para ir siempre con 2 escudos en cada pantalla imposible. Es un juego que no pillaría ni regalado y eso que pagué 1€ y ya me parece un timo. Control con la gravedad unAbsurdamente difícil. No se merece las críticas positivas que tiene.

Es un juego que no pillaría ni regalado y eso que pagué 1€ y ya me parece un timo. Control con la gravedad un poco deficiente al girar en esquinas. Quiero pasármelo y eliminarlo para siempre. Los que valoran juegos no se qué nivel tienen para no tener los problemas de la gente normal y no me considero un manco no. Lo que influye es que no me divierte perder el tiempo con estos juegos.… Expand

    Not a fan of the platforming. Inspired by Mario mechanics but slower and slightly less tight movement. The graphics are okay but nothing that impressive.

    All in all, I can’t help but rave about Horace. While it’s challenging and may prove troublesome for those not comfortable with their platforming skills, it nevertheless features a ton of content and an engaging story. And while I was frustrated by some of the glitches and occasionally lackluster design, this is still a game I would highly recommend, especially for fans of older games and indies.

    Maybe it's the throwback design influences that are slightly too far outside of this reviewer's reach to appreciate and retro fans that remember playing the ZX spectrum will find a lot more to get out in this title. The desire is strong to get on with Horace, it really is, and he might even make you laugh at times, but just like the guy wearing socks and sandals, there are too many things holding it back.

    Indie gem, hardcore platformer, robot fairy tale all rolled into one. This is a creative mix that also includes loads of funny retro references, puzzles and great storytelling.
