Been playing video games since I was young. Like, two years young. No, seriously. I started playing Atari 2600 games just a few months after the crash.

Imperfect Play #1: Ultionus: A Tail of Petty Revenge

WillyFourEyes Blog

It took me about 40 minutes to reach the end of Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge and find all of the secret areas, and I have the video to prove it.

I recorded this video a few days ago, adding annotations on the ins and outs of the game. I can't do a proper "Let's Play" of the game, since I don't have a microphone. If you want to watch this video on your iPhone or Android or other mobile device, you won't be able to see the notes I left. (Sorry!)

WARNING: This video contains major spoilers.

My first review of 2014: Ultionus

WillyFourEyes Blog

Greetings, fellow Desurans! 2014 didn't start off with a whole lot in the way of new game releases, but I did manage to find one in Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge. I wrote a review on here, but had to strip it down to make it fit within Desura's 2,000-character limit. The full version of the review can be found on my site.

In short, I like the aesthetic (mainly the fact that it owes more to Amiga and Sega Genesis titles than the NES/Super NES style a lot of other "retro indie" games like to use so much) and simple run-and-gun-and-jump gameplay, but found it to be a little too short for the price that's being charged. That said, I'd still recommend trying it out and seeing if it works for you.
