\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s something completely different.\u00a0 How about a 2D single screen precision platformer where you\u2019re SUPPOSED to die?\u00a0 In Ghost Teen: Escape from Limbo, you control a kid character who must collect a key and unlock a door to pass the level.\u00a0 But if you get hit, you turn into a ghost and can fly and pass through certain walls.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to do this to solve puzzles and bypass obstacles, but you must touch a gravestone in the level to turn back into the kid so you can exit the door.\u00a0 The game has retro styled black and white graphics that remind me of the games I used to play on my Apple ][+ computer.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

As the kid, you can run and jump and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 In this form, you can collect keys and open doors. When you get hit, you turn into the ghost, who can fly and pass through certain walls.\u00a0 But you can\u2019t pick up keys in this form nor can you exit the level.\u00a0 You do have a limited number of times you can get hit, so keep that in mind.\u00a0 If you lose all your hearts or touch the bottom or top of the screen (like falling into a pit), you\u2019ll have to start the level over again.\u00a0 The thing about this game is that it\u2019s not too terribly hard.\u00a0 There are 50 levels in all and I managed to beat all of them with only a couple giving me trouble.<\/p>\n

My only main problem with the game is that when you push blocks as the teen, they kind of have a physics based feel to them and may not fall into place the same way every time.\u00a0 In a precision platformer such as this, that can be problematic.\u00a0 In the third to last level, you have to push a block a long distance and hope it falls into the right spot to flip a switch, and I don\u2019t know how I got past that level once, but I did.\u00a0 Other than that, this is a pretty interesting gameplay idea, just could\u2019ve been fleshed out a bit more.\u00a0 Oh yeah, and there\u2019s no ending after you beat all the levels, so that\u2019s disappointing.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghost Teen: Escape from Limbo is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 When you get hit by spikes or touch an enemy, you turn into a ghost, and when you lose all your energy the ghost floats up and you must restart the level.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed but younger gamers may have trouble with the difficulty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
