Was $0.99 -> Now Free

graphics 3/5
fun 4/5
playability 5/5
overall: 4/5

pros: Has styling like an 80's style platformer
cons: The physics feels a little fake

Up until I started to write this review I had continually misread this game as being titled "Darrin Raccoon" rather than "Daring Tycoon".. personally I think "Darrin Tycoon" would have been a much better name.

The game itself reminds me of the old 80's (or earlier) platform games like Donkey Kong.

Your mission is simple, you just run around the screen collecting all the fruits whilst dodging the bad guys.

The similarities to old-style games like Donkey Kong don't end with the looks - when you jump it has that odd, non-accelerating/decelerating jump physics like Donkey Kong. Another strange thing is that if you fall even a short distance your character will die - this just doesn't feel right.

There is lots to like about this game though, including the ability to create your own levels which you can share with the world. I'll be playing this one a bit more.

I will keep this one.
