The video reminds me of that great little game but with color. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,769 554 113 England #3 psj3809, Feb 24, 2023 Yeah loved the original. Completed that just bought the new game. Not keen on the controls. The four way directional type of stick on the left so far seems clumsy. But all their previous games I’m fine with so might just be with me I’ll keep trying !

Wish they were resizable and whatnot. The buttons are pretty small on my 11 Pro Max. For 2 dollars I’m not disappointed. I’ll keep trying to beat the first level later on work break. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,045 623 113 #5 anthony78, Feb 24, 2023 Thought about picking this up but maybe I ought to wait to see if they update the controls. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,769 554 113 England #6 psj3809, Feb 25, 2023 Last edited: Feb 25, 2023 Played more and I’m on level 4 now. But so far the levels are boring. Kill 15 snakes and now kill 15 scorpions. When you’re on a ladder you can’t seem to press left and jump or right and jump. Got a bit more used to the controls but seems the same cave area with ladders and boring missions. Such a shame Anotherkellydown Moderator Staff Member Patreon Bronze Feb 10, 2014 4,415 1,050 113 Male CAD Technician I Upstate NY https://youtube.com/channel/UCcvu9xhE7xT-mZrXUZQJr5g #7 Anotherkellydown, Feb 25, 2023 Yeah, totally agree. Same formula with different monsters to kill and same background. There’s nothing there to draw me back in. Draven2222 Well-Known Member Dec 16, 2013 296 47 28 #8 Draven2222, Mar 3, 2023 Hmm, sounds disappointing as i loved 2-Bit,MightyAphid. i'll probably give this one a miss. ;( Btw do controllers work with it? Cascadia Games have supported them in all their previous titles, but yet again "no mention" of controller support anywhere, even their main site.

I didn’t even think to try it for some reason but it makes the controls a LOT better. Jumping from ladders is still a bit awkward even after the update: you have to move off of it then jump in midair rather than just being able to jump right off the ladder while still on it. Level 4 and it’s still just “kill this many monsters” or “save this many animals”, etc. I had lost some hope after Aphid but I tried this just in case it was a fluke. Looks to me like the quality/creativity from Cascadia is dwindling. I hope I’m wrong though. cascadiagames Active Member Sep 30, 2013 29 10 3 #10 cascadiagames, Mar 6, 2023 Last edited: Mar 6, 2023 There's now a 1.0.3 update that allows you to jump off a ladder while climbing. I have at least one more update planned. I agree that the first Mighty Aphid game launched substandard. I've updated it 9 times since then. I definitely don't want people to buy something that doesn't have a certain quality level to it. In fact, every game (except 2-bit Cowboy and Wacky Wheels, which were made with an old, dead game engine) has been updated in the past few months. I was surprised to see so much nostalgia for 2-bit. FWIW, the next "big" game for us is Guts 'n Grunts. Though I might release another smaller game between now and then.

Instant purchase for me hope there’s another gameboy style 2 bit cowboy sequel. Loved that game (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
