    I liked Paperboy when I was a child but I don't understand this game. One hit and it is game over. The developers could let the choice to the gamer if you want a one or 3 hits death. You play less than a minute and after one hit you have to begin a random generated level. The sound is horrible, I had to mute the TV. I like the pixellated style of the touryst by example but hate it on videoI liked Paperboy when I was a child but I don't understand this game. One hit and it is game over.

    The VideoKid is a mostly safe play on Paperboy that excels when going wild with its garish visuals and legally-questionable references.

    The VideoKid, though bearing noticeable similarities to popular mobile titles and with its fair share of faults and issues, is an affordable and entertaining drop-in indie title that you can pick up and play anytime. Challenging, yet charming, and with plenty of nods to 80s pop culture, this is a game that you will be retrying for hours in the hope of reaching your precious Jessica.

    For a title on Switch, it’s great — do a run or two while waiting in line for the bus or commuting on a subway and then set it down. On console or PC, I’m not sure it would be worth the pricetag.
