The classic platformer genre may have seen a dip in popularity, but it still holds a cherished spot on mobile devices, particularly for fans of jumping, dodging, and shooting. A prime example of this is the relaunch of the beloved game with the release of Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake, now available on iOS and Android. This update brings the charm of Metroidvania-style platforming back into the spotlight.
Interestingly, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake pays homage to its retro roots in a unique way. The game has shifted its visuals from the iconic monochrome Game Boy style of black and green to a more vibrant 16-bit console aesthetic. This graphical upgrade gives the impression of a nostalgic re-release from a bygone era. Beyond the visual enhancements, the remake is a comprehensive overhaul, addressing and smoothing out many of the original game's rough edges.
However, as pointed out by our reviewer Jack Brassel, the game misses a key feature: controller support. This omission can be a significant drawback for a platformer, as I've experienced firsthand with games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Fortunately, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake compensates with a more forgiving difficulty level.
