A love letter to the 80s. It's basically the game mechanics of Paper Boy (dodge\/jump stuff and throw things to mailboxes..) except your character is pretty much a depiction of a skateboarding, vest-wearing Marty Mcfly. If you grew up during the 80s you will recognize many of the characters that waltz by in the background, from Inspector Gadget, Duck Tales, TMNT, He-Man, Peewee Herman, Rocky, Eddie Murphy, etc... each with their own funny sound effects as they pass. The sound effects of the game are a particular standout, and have an appropriately lo-fi sound to them which resembles audio of games back during this era. It's a very straightfoward game with limited features, but if you're feeling nostalgic and want a trip down memory lane for the 80s and many of the movies and animated kids' shows of the time, this easily fits the bill.. I'm reviewing this from the couch\/controller\/in-home streaming point of view because I feel this is the most natural environment for Videokid's kind of game.Today, in a total 180\u00b0, we'll flip the thumb downside up. PixelTrip Studios' latest update vastly improves the game experience with a controller in hand. The game is not overly hard but can still kill you in seconds and the fact you don't have to reach for a mouse to give it another go anymore makes all the difference. The controller support stil doesn't feel 100% "native" but Steam's controller configurator can pick up the slack and make the mouse-driven store and menus navigatable with a pad. If I could only skip the Unity configuration with a launch parameter, the Big Picture experience would be improved even more.The game itself is a silly fun time waster with a ton of '80s references but what actually draws me in is the fluid gameplay and the fact it reminds me of Paperboy but doesn't make me want to pull my hair out. Added to the bin of games to go back to when you don't have time or energy for anything new or big.-- Initial review for posterity:Seems promising but the Unity configuration popup, lingering Game Over screen and the fact you need a mouse to skip the intro and use the menus are seriously killing the pick up (a controller) and play and replay and replay again aspect. I want to enjoy it but the aforementioned clunkiness is getting in the way.. So, The Videokid, really cool game. Would highly recommend it-- especially for the small price tag. The premise is simple enough and the excecution is done quite well. The game is making you through almost what I would consider a rail arcade game where you have to deliver as many videos as possible while also making your way to your girlfriend. The score attack part of the game keeps you on your toes while the incentive to collect money also for skins and tricks makes sure there is a benchmark for how good you are getting. The design of the level is ingenious, with plenty of nostalgic references to make sure you keep grinning as you go along. The secret level is cool as well. Overall, the game is fantastic, my only knock on it being that the loading times are "too long" for a game that is all about failing and repeating. (Too long as compared to super hexagon that is almost instantaneous). Appart from that, definately buy it if you get the chance.. With all due respect, VIDEOKID puts PAPERBOY(one of my all time favs) to shame. This is seriously awesome. Your left thumb will want to quit, but your right middle finger will hit ENTER out of defiance for "just one more round" of this challenging\/addicting arcade game packed full of pop culture good times. The joke's on you if you don't have this in your library. \u2580\u25ac\u2580 -10\/10 - Zashish. So, The Videokid, really cool game. Would highly recommend it-- especially for the small price tag.

It's a fun spin on the Paperboy games with a ton of references from the time period and maybe a bit of a Skate or Die feel. If those all seem somewhat foreign to you then maybe a better comparison would be to modern endless runner style games. You take control of a kid on a skateboard who is trying to meet his girl at the park. But his pesky job of delivering VHS tapes gets in the way. You skate along and make your deliveries while avoiding various obstacles. Obstacles that are often references to 80's pop culture. Maybe you need to avoid the Terminator. Or peg some Care Bears in the head with a tape. Drop in a sewer that you saw a few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles drop into? You can grind on top of cars and benches in an effort to increase your score. Make a few extra bucks and you can unlock various characters to use along with some extra moves. At the end of the day if you're a fan of the 80's then this might be right up your alley. Same if you're into endless runner style titles. If neither of those things really appeal to you then I'd give this a pass. If you want to see how it plays with some horrible commentary: https:\/\/youtu.be\/7LGRHS-kfGw
