The VideoKid

Ok first of all, every time you go online your data is getting looked at, the game isn't stealing your identity stop being morons. Secondly, this game ain't bad lol. Only thing that annoys me is that after every run it asks if you wanna go to the shop. Personally I love the 80s references.

Cons- Could use a button mapping editor (I would rather use RT,LT over A,B). A small pop up at the end of every run showing "So-so character unlockable in shop" gets annoying after the 10 th time. Pros- Fun time killer when you arent looking for heavy game play. Tons of references to stuff I havent thought about in years!

Have you ever wanted to play a terrible version of paper boy with no depth perception, cheap deaths and non-stop stupid references to 80's stuff? Well, here you go. Video Kid, a game that has less to it than many flash games but it is here for $5. Difficulty here is absolutely extreme and not at all in a good way, most of your deaths will be out of your control, you basically have to play perfectly to get to the end. Your reward? Nothing. You can unlock stupid cosmetics and tricks that do absolutely nothing and that's about it. Been playing for about 30 minutes and already I am bored out of my mind. Oh yeah and the game collects your data for absolutely no reason and this is the first game on Xbox One I have ever gotten such a warning for. Maybe you could make your game better instead of collecting our data.

Contrary to the uninformed below - achievements pop but DO NOT STICK TO YOUR XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT so ok, yes... there's achievements but the game is BROKEN! I want to like this but the PC controls are completely wrong. You are prompted with controller controlls even if you use a keyboard. Its much better on a console - only because B actually does something (as opposed to up arrow that you have to mash keys to find out.) This needs some serious work for implementation on PC (as in, a control scheme listed somewhere for KB commands) and having it actually save progress would kinda rock. As it stands, its fun for 10-15 minutes. When you start it again, you start from scratch. Not worth $5 until achievements and save data are addressed. Want proof achievements aren't working? Simple - check the game page on TrueAchievements. Guess what... no tracked gamers. Why? No achievements!

Achievements not working and in games progress (money earned, items purchased/unlocked) not being saved. There is a pop up for data access to your personal data but specifics not provided so i said "NO" so is this why the game is broken? I would give the game 5 stars as I love the game and the 80s references but if they dont fix the issues mentioned above now I will have to call in for a refund.
