Review of Yo Frankie!

This game is a pretty platformer that was created by a university last year in Amsterdam as a project, and then released for free. It seemed like something interesting, so I went to take a look.

You are playing the part of a squirrel called Frank. You are to explore the world, you can attack, jump, pick up and throw items. The graphics are really strong and the world features enemies like rats and sheep for you to attack and kill, and then you can pick up the bones left behind.

See how pretty? You are the dead squirrel in the middle.

Sound great? Yep. here;s the problem with Yo Frankie. Because it was a project to push the envelope for a pair of engines, and for a school, it isn;t really a game. I can explore levels, fights sheep, collects bones and nuts, and jump around. I found no objective, no plot, and a severe lack of anything resembling documentation.

The result, this is is a mess, and hardly a game in any real sense of the word. Avoid.

Summary: 1 outta 5 stars for being pretty.
