Review of Bacon's Game

DesiredName
To sum it up, I'm still blown away ten minutes after shutting it off. Bacon's Game Boy Advance game, currently "Untitled" is a marvelous attempt at the classic "side-scroller" formula. In it, you play butter-eating Andrew Jackson, and you begin your quest in a world devoid of color and feeling. What is very unique about this title, and what separates it from Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog, is the message the author has built into the game. Bacon might be suggesting with this eternal blackness, that Jackson is on his own, a lone creature in a world he never made. The lack of power-ups only confirms the rejection this character faces, as he stalks left and right, opening and closing his mouth, trying to find some decency on this planet. Bacon, you have created an utter classic, and instead of the new Final Fantasy game being released, I suggest you players out there take THIS game for a spin instead.

Try as I might, I couldn't find a level on which this game worked for me.
