The direction of the track usually changes with each dimensional shift, resulting in an experience that is overly contingent on memory over skill.Īll of this might have been more enjoyable if controlling the cat and the unicorn were a bit easier to control. Take, for instance, the way the settings sometimes shift from Martian spaceports, to Aperture Labs lookalikes, to medieval ruins all within the span of 10 seconds. These fantastical aspects make Awesome Level Max an add-on to remember, but it's unfortunate that certain elements unnecessarily complicate the cat-and-unicorn tracks. When you're dealing with a gun-toting cat on a unicorn, do you really need an explanation? The unicorn must have received his training in Skyrim. There's even a lightweight story involved in which the fearless feline reawakens what look like the three LARPing cousins of Puss-in-Boots, but it seems like silly, extraneous fluff, and the animations are elementary at best. At other times, a catapult flings him and his steed into vistas where castles perch atop floating rocks or precariously perched earthworks crumble down into a cloudy void. That's a bit of a shame, as they're visually fantastic levels that include everything from the ruined complex mentioned above to caverns where the cat slides his way down the skeletal spine of a long-dead dragon, or pounces on the helmet of a penguin in a robot suit while suspended in orbit high above the world. Fortunately, there are plenty of other things to do here as well.Īs cool as the cat and the unicorn are, they're only around for eight trials, which is barely more than a handful when considered in the context of the 30 total trials contained here. This is the kind of stuff dreams are made of, and that's why it's disappointing that Red Lynx wakes us from the little dream they've crafted far too soon.
This is the signature image of the Awesome Level Max DLC for Trials Fusion, and it's so far from the basic premise of the dirtbike platformer from last year that it's easy to think that the folks at Red Lynx came up with it while bobbing their heads to the Grateful Dead. Every so often, a plume of fire erupts from its nostrils, all while a cat eggs him on while brandishing what looks like Robocop's gun. A unicorn, sporting a tribal shoulder tattoo and blessed with a purple mane that would make Prince swoon, races through what looks like the ruins of Aperture Labs from Portal.
