Short Version: It’s really good, but it’s really hard. I suggest you all go play the original Mutant Mudds before getting into this one, for this game is absolutely relentless in its difficulty. If you guys like to play hard platformer games, then go ahead, but I highly recommend you play the predecessors first, since those are way easier by comparison, and will make for a smoother transition into Super Challenge.
Long Version: Sometimes I truly feel that Mutant Mudds is an SNES games that got lost in some sort of time vortex and somehow got released in 2013, with a new sequel out now in 2016. I wish to say that with the most positive connotation possible, since I like these games a lot, despite how incredibly hard they can get. Within its colorful and friendly exterior, there is a brutal 2D platformer waiting to test you on your skills; and it does a great job at that.
A Muddy Situation
Mutant Mudds: Super Challenge, developed and published by Renegade Kid, is a sequel to the original Mutant Mudds, where the simple story, aesthetic, enemies, upgrades and environments are pretty much identical to the previous game. However, the actual level design and mechanics are much more difficult than before, truly pushing Mutant Mudds veterans to their limit, one spiky pit at a time.
Playing the game is fairly simple. You move with the D-pad, shoot your water gun, jump and use your jetpack to hover for a little bit. That’s pretty much all you need to know in terms of controls. There are some upgrades you can get, such as having a stronger weapon or being able to float for slightly longer, but in general, the entire game is focused around how good you are at moving, jumping and shooting mud monsters. It is expected out of any platformer to have good control feel, and this game truly delivers. Playing the game feels tight and responsive and never feels like it’s the game screwing up whenever I get killed. Just like in the previous game, the controls work just fine and will never be a problem for you when playing.
