I'm OK

Platform: PC
Publisher: Thompsonsoft
Review Type: Touchy
Version: Free Download


Anti-game lawyer Jack Thompson is good for a giggle now and then. Not long ago, the kook posted his own modest proposal, an outline for an ultra-violent video game that details a father's revenge on a video game industry that caused the death of his son. Thompson promised to donate $10,000 to charity if a video game company actually made the game. By now indie game makers have risen to Thompson's challenge, but Thompsonsoft, the creators of I'm OK, have actually made a decent game out of the lawyer's twisted treatment.

I'm OK is a bloody, side-scrolling shooter rendered in an old-school, 8-bit style. The game, a Metal Slug-style throwback, is a gorgeous example of nouveau retro rendered in chunky blocks. It's also pretty damn hard.

This game is surprisingly good. I love the art direction. It reminds me of Commander Keen, the old side-scrolling PC game.

No kidding. The guys behind this game could be the next Behemoth.
