About

Love pixels? Fond of platformers? Is there a special place in your heart for the 8-bit and 16-bit era? Want to have fun? Yes!? Well, you’ve come to the right place, my friend. Mutant Mudds Deluxe is a “12-bit” action platformer full of pixels and platforming fun! Our hero, Max, may be just a 2D sprite, but he can leap into the third dimension by jetting between the background and the foreground playfields with his trusty jetpack in this unique dimensionally-woven experience. Armed with a heavy-duty water cannon, Max has what he needs to vanquish his long-term nemesi: the Mutant Mudds.

    Classic gaming done right; Renegade Kid has given Vita owners the chance to experience this wonderful and quite challenging game, and has brought it to them with quality and flair. With tons of hours worth of gameplay, you'll definitely get your money's worth. The only thing that might turn you off is the challenge, as this one isn't going to hold your hand.

    If not for the ineffective faux 3D effect, Mutant Mudds Deluxe would be the definitive version of Renegade Kid’s 2D platformer, with the same tight gameplay, charming graphics, and chirpy soundtrack bolstered by more levels than ever before.

    Don't take this as a slight against Mutant Mudds Deluxe, which is definitely the most complete Mutant Mudds yet -- until the next more complete version arrives, that is. Mutant Mudds has served its purpose as an unapologetic retro celebration, but at this point, I'm ready for Renegade Kid to build upon this foundation and pursue something truly original.

    Mutant Mudds Deluxe doesn't feel quite at home on larger screens, but it's still a very enjoyable game. Its crisp visuals and great soundtrack are as nice as ever, but it feels like a handheld experience at heart. The lack of 3D and layered scenery also means that it's sometimes difficult to tell what platforms and hazards are actually on your plane, which can lead to some unexpected deaths.

    Whether you're looking for a quick distraction from other games, love retro gaming, or are just begging for something to play on the rather disappointing WiiU library, I recommend Mutant Mudds Deluxe. It's only $9.99 and is worth 3-5 hours of cheery, upbeat, simple gameplay. It's short, it's relatively easy, but that doesn't stop it from being a fun callback to simpler times!
