These clones are supposed to be upgrades from the original in some way, yet it seems like Pixel missed that memo. Not only is there nothing new, playing the game brings most players to some kind of time warp to the past. Sure, there’s live action video between some levels, but the animations are things we haven’t seen for a good 15-20 years. It’s understandable that there is supposed to be a serious cultural factor that is played on, but what culture it’s meant for is the question.

Finally, the artistry makes no sense. Sure, this reviewer is no art connoisseur, but the images relayed were old an outdated. It seemed to poke fun at ‘generation X’ yet obviously was not done so intentionally. Some may actually be embarrassed while watching these videos as a reminder to a stranger time, one that won’t be so easily forgotten. If there was a coolness level being aimed for, they shot too high and went backwards. Kids will and do laugh at some of the videos and to answer what was so funny, the response remains “it’s silly.”
