.EXE

[EDITED THE REVIEW JUNE 20, 2016] I have 30 minutes in this game when I am writing this review. I beat the first boss fight on normal. So far I look like a cute little penguin trying to survive in a computer. The controls are smooth, the levels gradually get harder but not too fast. The first boss was a little hard to beat, but overall I am pleased with the game. Every art design seems to be made out of symbols from a keyboard. PRO's + Cute Penguin + Computery for people like me + Everything is adorable + Game sounds are good for the game. + Every level seems to be different after restarting, and there is no boss order. + Brings you in to the game, though there is no 'Story Mode' it still is fun to scream at the cute little creatures and tell them they will never catch you. CON's - Fullscreen makes graphics fuzzy (just enlarges screen, doesnt scale graphics) - Has no 'Save Game' MORE WILL BE ADDED TO THIS REVIEW AS I PLAY. DEFINATELY WORTH TRYING OUT!!

.EXE is a Rouge-Lite Platformer game about an emoticon trying to escape deletion. In this game, you will jump and shoot through several randomly picked levels, collect items and powerups, and fight enemies until you reach the exit. [h1] Pros: [/h1] [list] [*] The game has a very unique art style, with all the blocks and characters being made of computer symbols and ASCII text. [*] A random set of levels each playthrough, giving uniqueness to each playthrough. [*] Special level effects, such as lag, memory wipes, key logging, and low power mode(more on that one later). These give levels more diversity and difficulty, as you may have to escape in 3 minutes, or fight tons of enemies. [*] Power-ups and items that give a variety of effects. [*] A special [b] "Impossible Mode" [/b] levels that test your skill. [*] A great soundtrack full of retro soundfonts. (If you are thinking of buying the soundtrack and like the theme used in the trailer, then buy it.) [/list] [h1]Cons:[/h1]...

It's okay

Fun and easy to pick up.

This is a low-effort platformer, that's frankly not worth the $5.99 asking price, IMO. Even getting it on sale for $1.19, I was disappointed.

The game is certainly unique... With its pixel art and unique gameplay structure I would reccomend it. The're only 9 achivements some of them are hard some of them are easy.
