Asciivania, a Metroidvania game review

Asciivania Game Review:

A great Metroidvania style flash game!

 AsciiVania gameplay Screenshot
Asciivania is a clever game done in Ascii graphics where you control an alphabet and you gain power ups such as jump and double jump, for example,as well as finding red Alphabets which will let you morph into those letters to solve word puzzles to get through the level. Using the correct letters you can form words by lining up against letters to clear them and move forward through the game.

AsciiVania gameplay Screenshot  The game is very clever in how it represents a clear throwback to games of old like castlevania and metroid, while using simple characters as levels to present good puzzle and platforming action. You can play this game on sites such as Kongregate.com and other flash gaming sites like that. I recommend you try this game out, especially if you are a fan of Metroidvania style gaming, and it's free to play, so you got nothing to lose!

Be sure to check out our Minecraft Merchandise Showcase! and our review of Minecraft for PC
Single Player: Yes
Multiplayer: 4 player splitscreen (8 player online)

NOTE: splitscreen play requires an HD TV with a component or HDMI cable is required

Game Play

Minecraft for the Xbox 360 is very much similiar to the PC version of Minecraft with some modifications for the console. At the time of this writing, the 360 version is a few updates behind the current PC version, but according to news found on the internet and good sources, eventually the two versions will be caught up to each other.
