Miles & Kilo

“It has relaxing summer vibes and a charming soundtrack with fun gameplay.”

“It is polished, has a great soundtrack, has tons of challenge with completely fair consequences, teaching, and design.”

“There's variety in the level design and also multiple songs in the game, so it's not the same thing over and over.”

“For what is, at first glance, an unusual knock-off/lookalike of the much-iconic Super Mario Brothers that defined the platformer genre in the mid-1980s on the old NES, Miles & Kilo does a rather good job at taking us back to retro arcade-styled games with addicting yet challenging gameplay, paired with smooth experience and pixel 8-bit graphics that have a unique, timeless charm.”

“The game is divided into 5 worlds, each with 7 levels including a boss fight. The graphics are done in an 8-bit style, but the game looks brighter, more colorful, and more detailed than anything on the NES.”

“Charming characters with fun and witty dialogue are coupled nicely with well-made 8-bit graphics that pay homage to old NES titles.”

“Each bad guy steals a part to their plane and they go on a quest to recover their lost parts, put the plane back together, and get off this island.”

“On that note, once the story mode has been completed, a new game mode will unlock called 'time attack', which acts as a recorded playthrough of all 36 levels, racing against the clock with each death and failed attempt counted—something expert platforming fans will love for bragging rights!”

“A new game mode that unlocks after completing the story mode allows for more competitive play for those itching for more challenges.”

“It's not a very long game as it took me only 4 hours to get all the achievements, but there's a time attack mode that gets unlocked after you beat the game once which adds a little bit of replay value, especially if you're going for all achievements.”

“Somewhat short but very replayable, like the lovable titles of the old days.”

“Seeing as you are graded on your performance in each level via either a C, B, A or S rank depending on how many of the three objectives of each level that you meet, (that being how many coins you've collected, how many fruit you've picked up and how fast you completed the level) it encourages both casual gameplay on a player's first playthrough as well as more efficient and skilled methods for future attempts, be it for achievement hunting or for getting the best time record possible.”

“Great soundtrack, nice pixel art, actually good bosses in a runner game, a rather high difficulty at times and a game that pushes you to improve yourself by ranking your performance.”
