Pixel art? techno like beats? It's a platformer!? I'm in!
League of evil by Ravenous Games is a platformer for the iphone. It's pretty similar to the PC and XBLA game super meat boy. as in you'll be dying a lot. Gameplay is simple, get from point A to point B, dodging obstacles and killing enemies. You'll be playing a character some what reminiscent of Bionic Commando. he levels are pretty easy at first but soon ramp up in difficulty after about a dozen levels or so. When I'm talking Difficult I'm talking about "throw your ipod at the wall in frustration" difficult (don't do that by the way). Levels can be completed in seconds, of course if you can beat it that is. To add to the challenge you can choose to collect a suitcase in each level.

These are pretty challenging to get as they involve getting past spikes, turrets, soldiers and the occasional spinning ninja wielding a lightsaber... well 2 lightsabers. The level itself isn't too much of a challenge to traverse except for the enemies in the way. Did i mention you're going to die a alot?

Graphically the pixel art style is quite pleasing in this platformer and is easy on the eys, overall it's enjoyable and the interface was just right. Music was techno styled and was pretty nice to listen to. Controls could've been a little more responsive and there was noticeable lag right before you die in some levels. There are quite a number of levels to beat in the game; around around or so. Of course you'll be spending hours just trying to beat some levels so this is easily going to consume your time.

Overall the platformer was really enjoyable, difficult but enjoyable, a good look for any Meat Boy fan or anyone looking for a challenge.
