I don't know if anyone heard of this game, it's a mmorpg 2d side scroller, that's right, a multiplayer platform game.

I know at least Elly would want to take a look because the graphics are icky cute and manga style, mushroom houses and all, just like her puffies or whatever. It actually doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. :)

The signup is a bit of a pain but the rest is easy as pie, except a couple of things I couldn't figure out: You double click the character to start playing, and you use your specials buy assigning them to keys first.

Character customization is a bit weak but you can only play 3 characters on each server so I guess it doesn't matter much. Players are mostly childish and rude, but there's plenty of room to avoid others.

Sounds are... there. Not great but not annoying. I can't tell you much more because my soundcard died and I can't really remember. :mellow:

I'll give it an overall score of 6/10 - not a great game, but an interesting idea and worth trying out.

I'm having some fun anyway. :cool:
