\"\"<\/a>When I was a kid, I always thought it would be fun to learn how to walk on stilts.\u00a0 But where would you buy them?\u00a0 And because of my disability, being blind in my left eye since birth and having limited depth perception and peripheral vision, it also affects my balance.\u00a0 It\u2019s why I\u2019ve never been able to ride a bike or skateboard.\u00a0 So stilts were definitely out of the question.\u00a0 But maybe I could do it in a video game?\u00a0 Well, here\u2019s Stilt Fella, a game about guiding a dude through obstacles on stilts.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Before you start, they give you a little tutorial showing the controller and telling you that the L and R sticks move your left and right stilt sticks, and the L2 and R2 buttons pick them up.\u00a0 But when I tried to do that in the actual levels, I just couldn\u2019t figure it out.\u00a0 I\u2019d move the L stick forward and the little man would tilt it backwards.\u00a0 I tried reversing the controls in the options screen and it would do the same thing.\u00a0 Heck I would fall over even if I didn\u2019t push anything!\u00a0 I only got past the first level by inching and nudging my way forward.\u00a0 Supposedly you can unlock new outfits and stilt styles, but other than the candy cane stilts, I didn\u2019t see anything past Level 2.\u00a0 There may be a good game in here somewhere, but the steep learning curve on the controls was just too much for me.\u00a0 So no stilts in video games for me neither.<\/p>\n

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

Nothing too violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 Your little man can fall down and go \u201coof\u201d but that\u2019s about it.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may find the controls too difficult, though.\u00a0 Stilt Fella is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
