The last time we brought a Noodlecake Studio game to your attention was back when they launched Bloop and Box Cat in August. Noodlecake has some other pretty popular tiles that you might be more familiar with like Super Stickman Golf 1 & 2, The Blockheads, Punch Quest or Ready Steady Bang. Just because we haven’t covered any releases in a while, doesn’t mean they haven’t been hard at work. To that end, Noodlecake Studios has a new game on the horizon that is scheduled to launch tomorrow February 20th called Mikey Shorts.
In Mikey Shorts you run, jump and slide through the levels rescuing people and picking up coins to buy disguises along the way. It features a slew of things too.
FEATURES:
• 72 different levels across 2 game modes
• 6 unique environments
• Choose from over 100 disguises to wear
• Finish a level fast to earn up to 3 stars
• Golden Shorts are hidden in all Story levels
• Race against a ghost of your best score
• Split times at gates show +/- your best score
• Earn achievements both online and offline
• Easy access to Game Center scores
• Quick retry button for restarting a level
• Ability to customize controls
• View various game stats
The game controls are extremely simple. You have a left or right directional pad along with a red and blue button. The red button lets you jump and the blue button makes you slide. You can edit their placement and transparency if they are in your way at all.
As far as gameplay is concerned. It is straight forward with the simple controls and easy to pick up and put back down. You must touch each person that has been turned into a statue to free them from their stone prison. Only after you do that are you able to break the barrier to the next section. You will want to move fast and not waste time trying to get every single coin if you want a high score. Fiddling around after a couple coins you missed will cost you precious seconds that could result in lower stars and score. You will want those stars to unlock the next set of levels as you progress through the 2 various worlds that are currently available.
I can’t wait for this one to launch for you all to get your hands on. The game is a great side scrolling platformer. It also is fully integrated with Google Play games for leaderboards and achievements too. When Mikey Shorts does launch tomorrow you can expect to spend $0.99 to add it to your collection of time killing games. It won’t offer any sort of IAP at all. Check the video below for some gmaeplay action.
