It's not that I think this game is bad, it's just... Not great. There's some good ideas here and there, but I couldn't enjoy it much. The bosses are either ridiculously easy, or really hard, there's no balance. Each level are made with multiples routes in mind, making each possible run unique. That's good, but, I don'T know how many times I died because I didn't know one thing was hurting me. The enemy placement is quite atrocious, I died way too many times because I couldn't see an enemy or some spikes. I was really getting frustrated by it, especially when there's no hint if I'll die if I miss this jump, of if I need to go down and then right before touching the ground. It's fun for a while, not for a single session.

About This Game
THE STORY
Everything was once peaceful in the Jubilee Realm - a distant universe formed from individuals' fond memories of the holidays. Here, humanity's composite recollections were weaved into brilliant landscapes and simple, kindly beings. However, ages have passed and the thoughts that shaped the realm have been tainted by a dark force - people's spiteful memories of their special occasions. The Holidaemon, six ruthless beings born from this negative energy, have begun taking over the Jubilee Realm and threaten to infect all its inhabitants with their influence.
Thankfully, all is not lost. Blink the Bulb, a lone resident of Winter Land, has set off to defeat the Holidaemon before they conquer the entire world. Looking skyward, he vows to vanquish their evil and restore the inhabitants of the Jubilee Realm to their former selves.
THE GAME
Blink the Bulb is a 16-bit platform game styled after Genesis-era classics with added pseudo-random content for replayability. The game spans six holiday-themed worlds and features:
- massive, open levels to explore
- day/night cycles that occur between levels, altering enemy behaviors, minibosses, stage gimmicks, and obtainable items
- 20 different "passive" items to collect, with percent chance or cooldown-based effects such as: spawning zombies, increasing invincibility frame duration, creating a protective barrier of thorns, and preventing fatal damage
- 10 different "active" items that can be used at will, including a fire-spewing candle and a shooting star dash attack

User Reviews
This game is awesome. It reminds me so much of my childhood when I played games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Ristar (I had those Mega Collection games, so I could play them on my Xbox 360.) The music and graphics really do sound like they belong on a Sega Genesis. You should get this is if you like games like that.
Highly recommended, fun, simple, challenging... not a bad deal for free. O-("Q)
Exploration, platform, difficult, very much so. Difficult to manage inertia. layed 30', not for me, very good for hardcore players. Free (in the good meanings of the word). SuNo
Great retro platformer game! Very colorful and very fun with some old friends who you remember playing these old timey games with!
