Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails Review | GIZORAMA

Robert Gannon, GIZORAMA – "Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails is a very inventive platform/action game for the Wii U. It makes excellent use of the Wii U GamePad, a rarity on the console so far. You control your cat fighting against a wave of technologically advanced rats using the left control stick. You must follow the path of the rails to move at all–up or down for vertical rails, left or right for horizontal rails, and in a smooth arc for corners and rounded rails. The right stick controls the view on the TV and GamePad. A or B is jump, X or Y is shoot, and select toggles the zoom on the screens.

The controls work exceptionally well if you know what you’re doing. Developer Dakko Dakko is playing around with momentum and magnetism to create a challenging game. The track design means literal 360 degree platforming, which only makes it harder. This is not a lightweight platformer game for children. It is very difficult and refuses to explain the why and how of the story or action."
