Had a great time with this one. It's basically a sequel to the previous game which was also pretty good! https://store.steampowered.com/app/286100/You_Have_to_Win_the_Game/ This game adds a full overworld with more secrets and collectibles. Lots of well-designed areas as well as enemies and obstacles that usually never felt too unfair or overwhelming, while still keeping a pretty decent difficulty level demanding...

Sideways thumb. Navigation is an absolute pain but the platforming was decent.

Surprisingly expansive, full of emotion, and quite cleverly designed. Great follow up to a great first entry.

A nice little traditional platformer - Metroidvania, minus the combat. First, I highly recommend that you try the free predecessor to this game - my respect for that made me insta-purchase this when it went on sale. http://store.steampowered.com/app/286100/You_Have_to_Win_the_Game/ Other reviewers complaints that this isn't as good as its predecessor may be valid. However, as someone who enjoyed the previous game...

Seeing the negative reviews for this game only shows, that this is not for everybody. If you're like me, and are 30+ ish, and played video games in your childhood, then you will enjoy this game. What it reminded me of: - Battle of Olympos (Platforming part) - Zelda 1 and 2 (Open World Exploration / Platforming) - Dragon Warrior (Open World Exploration) - C64 games in general When I purchased this game, I wanted...

My god this game gives me all sorts of happy feelings. It reminds me so much of Zelda II from back in the day, which is a game I loved despite its flaws. This game takes out all the frustrating aspects of Zelda II while maintaining a lot of the aesthetic and the tone. But more than that, there's a lot of other legitimate retro references in here. This feels less like a homage and more like a lost game from that...

This is an absolute must-buy for fans of the previous game ("You Have to Win the Game", available for free on Steam). It follows the same basic formula of platforming (there is no combat at all), exploration, and puzzle solving. Similar to the original, the look is retro, only this time around the inspiration is more from the 8-bit console era. In fact, the majority of the aesthetics are pretty blatantly, err,...

Pros: - The retro CRT TV filter is great. It may be a little overmuch at first, but the effect is totally cusomizable, or you can just turn it off entirely. - The story (although rather buried) is interesting. Not groundbreaking or absolutely stunning, but interesting...which is more than I can say for a lot of recent games. - There are a lot of "borrowed assests" in this game. While I'd normally take umbrage to...

Mechanically, this game is identical to its predecessor, You Have to Win the Game. So far as I can tell having almost beaten the game, there are no items in Super that were not in You Have to, meaning that for gameplay, you're in for much the same. Coming from someone who really loved You Have to Win the Game, I found Super Win the Game profoundly boring. The charm and variety found in the original game has been...
