There's also more ammo and health lying around than you'll ever need, no matter what difficulty setting you're playing on. The problem is that Vinyl is simply unable to throw any of the weapons straight, leaving you tossing away ammo until enough of your projectiles manage to arc into the monsters.Įven that doesn't stop the game being pretty easy for its genre, however, since Vinyl has an unlimited supply of lives, and dying won't make the vanquished monsters respawn. Speaking of which, there's a variety of weapons Vinyl will find and use during the game, such as throwing knives, shurikens, fireballs, and exploding bottles. While the game's very easy to pick up and learn, you'll be wishing that you could at least aim your weapons up or down a little more.

The game is split into three episodes, each of which begins with an overworld map screen where Vinyl can travel and access new levels to open up the way for her. I guess they really didn't have that much time to 'un-Jillify' the game at all. While the story you'll find in the main menu makes the game sound like some kind of space-related game, you'll spend pretty much the entire game throwing knives and fireballs at frog monsters. It's up to Vinyl to collect the things she needs to repair her ship, all while avoiding all the traps and monsters she'll encounter on her journey. On your way to a convention, your ship is damaged by a meteor storm and crash lands on an uncharted planet.

The story is that you are the Vinyl Goddess From Mars, known as one of the biggest B-movie fans in the entire galaxy. If you took a look at somebody playing the game without knowing any better, you'd never be able to tell the difference.

The game was eventually given to another company, and names were changed around a bit. In fact, Vinyl Goddess From Mars was at one point very, very close to actually being the sequel to the original Jill. Ever played Jill of the Jungle? If you have, whatever you thought of it will more or less be this review right there.
