    This old-school platformer is given a twist. [Sept 2011, p.87]

    Quite spectacularly varied, though not necessarily all that inventive, The Adventures of Shuggy excels as a brain-teasing platformer almost in spite of its sadistic design. [Issue#75, p.100]

    Shuggy's a clever game rather than a truly smart one – a smart game wouldn't do half as much to undermine itself along the way – but it's still worth sticking with to its bitter and infuriating end.

    The Adventures of Shuggy won't be remembered for its originality, but it's a surprisingly fun platform game, with a lot of stages and a hefty dose of variation applied to its game-mechanics that keep it fresh and interesting.

    Nothing is broken, and The Adventures of Shuggy is a solid, functional title. But it wasn't until the later levels that the toe-curling, tense moments came in and I felt any exhilaration or reward.

The controls feel tight, the platforming is fun, the aesthetic's theme is really cute yet cool at the same time, and the game is loaded with content. It's a great buy if you're looking for a new platforming. Worth every penny no matter the price.… Full Review »
