I wish I could give a neutral score to this but if you don't have a controller and are going to use a keyboard then be prepared for (in my opinion) bad controls.
I have been a huge fan of the AVGN for a few years now and when i heard about this game I was really excited and wanted to buy it, so I went into purchasing this game really wanting to love this game and the AVGN episode on the game made the game look good.

Lets start with the good: It is a challenging but rewarding game, it has that old nostalgic 8 and 16 bit feeling, the levels are nice and have some nice humor to them, and it is based on a youtube show that I love to watch.

The problem with this is that it is clearly made for console and not for PC. Naggie the tutorial fairy tells you jump is A (when it isn't for PC) and so unless you looked at the controls before playing the game you have to guess what the controls are. Also, the fact that you can't use the mouse is the real deal breaker for me, I have to use the keyboard fully, which doesn't sound that bad but is an issue when "up" and "Jump" use different keys and you can't use the mouse it means that it is really hard to find the keys that feels right.

So be prepared to have to spend about 30 minutes changing the controls to feel good.
It really annoyes me that they made this port to PC with the very low effort. But the game is good and if you like the AVGN then you will be able to get over the controls, to improve it i would say to go into the controls and make I,O and P as the attack.
Who wants to marathon the AVGN tonight?
