The Online Game “Harvey Tublestump, episode 1”

This is a review of the game Harvey Tublestump, created by shootermg.  It can be accessed at http://armorgames.com/play/4654/harvey-tumblestump-episode-1

This game is very difficult game and will take some gaming skills.  If you are a gaming novice you may not be able to pick up the nuances of how to win.  However, I like a challenge with my games and can appreciate the opportunities provided.  This is a very fun game reminding me of a good old 8-bit game with a character resembling an Indiana Jones character.   You will use 4 buttons in the game.  These are: the X to jump, the C to shoot and the left and right arrows to move forward and backwards.

The game contains only 2 types of monsters.  These are a bat and a rock monster which I found a bit small.   There are a few obstacle stages.  These include getting past the bats, the spikes and the rock monsters.  There are also candles indicating which way to go which comes in real handy many times

There are 3 main goals that you will need to accomplish.  These are to get through all the stages, beat the boss that looks like an evil version of the main character and collecting every coin found throughout the game.  I loved the game for its old school theme and its difficulty.  It was certainly harder than most of the games I have played in this series.

The game does contain checkpoints throughout the game.  If you get past a checkpoint and you end up getting killed, you can start over at the passed checkpoint.  Playing it will require a large amount of patience.  You will begin again many times.  This is similar to many of the games available such as Mario.

I would give this game a 5 start rating due to its difficulty and excitement.
