TSA writes: “Whether slow and deliberate or hyper-fast and hectic, movement is so essential to a platforming games success. The simple act of navigating from one screen to another can be raised to sublime levels by responsive and accurate controls whilst any kind of lag is fatal to enjoyment. This is even truer of games that fit into the masocore subgenre super difficult platformers with instant death following every misplaced step or jump. Super Meat Boy is still the king of this style of game, despite frequent pretenders to its blood splattered crown. The latest of these challengers is The Kings Bird, bringing with it a beautifully stripped back aesthetic and its own take on momentum and gliding.”
