Our take on Yet Another World
Players who need a gentler platforming curve may bounce off when the game’s hardcore obstacles and pitfalls begin demanding careful movement; new hazards appear every 10 levels, so the challenge keeps changing rather than settling into a single pattern.
What is Yet Another World?
A hero sets out to recover his cows after a villain takes them while he is asleep.
The journey spans 8 chapters and 120 levels, with obstacles and pitfalls to navigate. New traps and obstacles appear every 10 levels, and some stages let the hero's death serve a purpose.
