Mike Mech 2 (C64)

Here is our Review in detail: This is the sequel to the already very well designed platform game from 2022, but with a different gameplay. It's not about coloring blocks, but about flipping switches and looking for key cards to open exits, which you first have to find. There are also various terminals in most rooms for orientation. The game impresses with its consistently varied level design and extremely good playability, which never lets you get frustrated despite the sometimes very demanding level of difficulty. This is due on the one hand to the fairly tolerant collision detection of the character with the moving enemies, and on the other hand to the newly added practice mode, in which you can practice the second to fourth sections of the ship with an infinite number of lives (which was also possible during normal gameplay in version 1.0 due to a bug, but was quickly fixed). The graphics and animations were created with great attention to detail and everything else is just right technically. A saveable high score and the fact that this game is free again this time is the icing on the cake. If you don't get it here, you're missing out on one of the best and most motivating C64 games of recent years. 😎👍

Awesome game with varied level design and extremely good playability. The graphics and animations were created with great attention to detail and everything else is just right from a technical point of view. The difficulty level is very challenging, but never unfair.
