Yes - tight controls and stiff difficulty make it a frustrating, yet rewarding platformer. The sense of humor is strange, but somehow charming. Expect to die a lot; don't play for long periods.


The WiiWare version is pretty neat and basically the same, though I got distracted before finishing. I'd second your endorsement from what I played of it. It's basically an indie metroidvania title. The art direction and retro music give it an added punch of flavor. Highly recommended.



BTR is basically a rhythm platformer. You jump, duck, etc, to the music to avoid obstacles and beat each stage. It's addictive, but games like this tend to annoy me too much to get the entire way through. That doesn't mean it isn't charming and worth playing, though.

Haven't played Shank, GSB or NightSky.

Jamestown is a pretty sharp little bullet hell shooter. I've played it with a partner and it gets even better with extra players. The music, quirky story and superb pixel art make it a tight package. My only complaint is the length, which is a scant 5 stages. Difficulties and unlocks help, but I'd still like to see more. Either way, it's a steal in this bundle.

The price of these usually drops over time. It was $4.57 when I looked earlier, but now it's back up to $5.20. So, we may have to wait for a drop... Still, that's a chump change difference.
