JoeTheDestroyer's Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu review

Hell yes this game (and review). I first heard about this in an early (very early, very stupid) AVGN episode:

The infamous "up" button for controls is so ridiculous but I hadn't heard before how easy it is despite this.

Yeah, despite the game starting off counterintuitive, it's quite easy. The only really tough part is the final boss.

I may be wrong, but I think they borrowed the control scheme from the NES port of Trojan. I seem to remember that game utilizing Up for jump as well, reserving the other buttons for attack and block. So irritating!

The only place I remember up jumping was in some old computer platformers on the PC and then I would almost always quickly redelegate that command to the space bar. Up is the worst button to use for jump. Except maybe "left."

It also reminded me of Warhawk, which the dubious pleasure of playing I owe to EmP.
