Sideway™ New York

I don't get the hate this game gets. Other than that it sometimes crashes (it did for me twice in my whole 7 hours). Sideway New York is a nice casual platformer, with no real challenge and that is ok. It was for me a new breath of fresh air. I played in the past a lot of hard platformers which made me rage quit. This game has a forgiving checkpoint system, so you can try every platforming hinderance as much as you...

Sideway New York is not a bad game, but you should avoid this version. What the game does have is style. The art looks like something out of 2000's Cartoon Network, and the hip-hop soundtrack fits the game like a glove. Those are the most memorable parts. I also liked the level design, making good use of the "2D platformer in a 3D world" mechanic. However, even with cool music, the few tracks repeat so often that...

When I first saw this game on steam, I was instantly drawn to it. Sideway New is a side-scrolling platform game with inspiration from FEZ. The artwork is great, fit the game very well to make an enjoyable atmosphere. The game is filled with light humour, but for the most part, are unnoticeable. The game has a variety of enemies, traps, and skills to keep you on your toes. The game is short. There are some...

I'm not a fan of platformer games at all. There's very few games of that genre that I would consider good. This however is one of them! In this game you play a parkouring vandal who gets eaten by a spraypaint monster and sucked into graffiti land...and you gotta get out! It's a typical platformer, but because it's in a graffiti world, how you get around the level depends on your perspective. I actually REALLY...

Very inetersting platformer, 3D but you live in a 2D world. This gimmick reminds me one of the lst Zeldas which had this mechanics. At times you are upside down, sideways, and you still see the 3D world like cars moving by. Very cool

Sideway™ New York is an excellent re-working of those classic 8 and 16 bit console platformer’s from days gone by, but with a far better graphics and a twist that smacks of a new genre in itself; okay 'new genre' may be stretching the truth a little, but the clever way the author has created a 3 dimensional 2D platformer is quite remarkable IMO. The hero of the game, called Nox has to rescue his...

this game is hit and miss, bought it yeeeeeears ago, when steam was still in its infancy. Even at the time it was an indie game, so by todays standards its meh. The game is enjoyable with a friend, the only real downside to it is 30 fps lock but hey you get used to it
