What were they thinking? I'll tell you what they were thinking. A very hard but well crafted platformer. I recommend this game not only to Angry Video Game Nerd fans, but also retro enthusiasts, hardcore gamers seeking a challenge, and even casual gamers who just want to have fun. There's something for all of us.

If you are a fan of the show you'll enjoy all the references. This is a good game overall. The game as good controls, looks nice, and is fun. If you haven'r play this game or its sequel, buy the AVGN 1+2 double pack. It's both games together, and is absolutely worth the price. Grab it when its on sale. You'll be glad you did.

This game is so hard, it would actually be easier to go outside in a thunderstorm and try to dodge rain. It would be easier to walk barefoot, without your toes or heels touching the floor. It'd be easier to pick fly shit out of pepper... while wearing boxing gloves! Very fun game, especially for AVGN fans!

What the **** was AVGN thinking? Simply put, this game is a love letter to anyone who grew up playing 8-bit and 16-bit games of the 80s and 90s. You know, the games that AVGN is famous for reviewing and raging. And this game has plenty of "Nintendo-hard" mechanics and difficulty and just plain cheese that will make you swear in ways you never thought possible. This game even comes up with new and creative ways for you to string vulgar words together in complete sentences. But then you'll laugh it off and start right back up until you finally beat the level, the boss, and then eventually the whole game and it will all have been worth it. Mega Man, Mario, Zelda, Castlevania are just some of the series that this game pays homage to, although I'm sure there are plenty of others too. Fans of AVGN's show will fit right at home here with all sorts of references and inside jokes from the show. If you haven't watched his show, go on YouTube and watch some episodes before getting this game. You'll understand why soon enough. This game is very replayable, with multiple difficulty levels as well as hidden characters you can play as. I didn't even find all of the hidden characters in my first playthrough and only found out about the ones I missed after watching AVGN review his own game.
