After their plane is downed by a mischievous specter, Miles and Kilo must find a way to escape a haunted archipelago. Help them run, jump, surf, swing, and slide their way through 36 levels in this fast-paced retro platformer.
As a throwback to 8-bit platformers, Miles & Kilo works better than most. It also works as a legitimate reason to fire up your old Nintendo 3DS and remember how much fun action/arcade games were—and how cool that 3D effect was—the first time you played it.
Miles & Kilo is a simple platformer in which Miles and his dog - Kilo - traverse the levels. Completing the game should take about an hour, but mastering all the levels will take days. It gets tedious and repetitive, but isn't it the case with every game of this genre?
If you're looking for a fun, colorful and challenging minimalist platformer, then you should check out Miles & Kilo. The option to play it as a platformer instead of as an auto-runner right from the start is a welcome addition, but if you're a big fan of the auto-runner genre, then you can also go into the options menu and trigger that choice!
I enjoyed my time with Miles & Kilo and it gave me flashbacks to playing Adventure Island as a kid.
Miles & Kilo is a simple game at heart which takes a very basic game design and innovates on the genre by implementing its own little flavor. Its like Super Mario Bros., but with a dog and it happens to be more challenging than the inspiration. It's certainly a must buy, even if you haven't played it before.
