PixelTrip Studios' latest update vastly improves the game experience with a controller in hand. The game is not overly hard but can still kill you in seconds and the fact you don't have to reach for a mouse to give it another go anymore makes all the difference. The controller support stil doesn't feel 100% "native" but Steam's controller configurator can pick up the slack and make the mouse-driven store and menus navigatable with a pad. If I could only skip the Unity configuration with a launch parameter, the Big Picture experience would be improved even more.The game itself is a silly fun time waster with a ton of '80s references but what actually draws me in is the fluid gameplay and the fact it reminds me of Paperboy but doesn't make me want to pull my hair out. Added to the bin of games to go back to when you don't have time or energy for anything new or big.-- Initial review for posterity:Seems promising but the Unity configuration popup, lingering Game Over screen and the fact you need a mouse to skip the intro and use the menus are seriously killing the pick up (a controller) and play and replay and replay again aspect. I want to enjoy it but the aforementioned clunkiness is getting in the way.. Man I love this game, it is nostalgia of PAPERBOY! BRILLIANT. THE VIDEOKID is a remake of one of the great classics in the history of gaming, Paperboy, originally from 1985 but made on several platforms over the years. THE VIDEOKID is a runner where you play a kid riding his skateboard delivering video tapes for marked Letter boxes While trying to avoid all sorts of dangerous enemies that mostly are 80ies culture icons like movies\/cartoons characters etc. The handling is as simple as it gets as the controls are left and right and up for jumping while a fourth key is for throwing the video tapes. The game can be played on either keyboard or controller. When colliding with enemies the first time the game ends. The game has 3 different trick updates which in my opinion is a bit limited but still ok as you doesnt have much influence on them anyways. Besides of that different skins can be bought by earning ingame coins.I think all fans of runners or the original paperboy will be satisfied aquiring this great little game that in my opinion actually is way better than the original and its sequel. The vast ammount of culture references is really staggering and has had me trying to remember what movies and shows they might have appeared in originally.I bought this game at full price and is really happy that i did so as its a simple but addictive game of nostalgia.Below is posted different characters ive spotted ingame but be aware if you are a film buff you might want to skip that part as i had a blast myself trying to figure them out. various characters\/things from same shows\/movies turning up on different ocasions down the road (who framed roger rabbit, peanuts, dr who, He-Man, baywatch, karate kid, back to the future, teenage mutant ninja turtles,the blues brothers, 48 hours) - characters showing once, Inspector gadget, care bears, a-team, big bird, duck tales, star trek, scarface, taxi driver, National Lampoon's Vacation, michael jacksons thriller, terminator, paddington bear, dukes of hazard, beverly hills cop, ghost busters, space invaders\/Pac-Man, rocky, herbie, dancing prunes, Short Circuit, lethal weapon, super man, Fraggle Rock, Alvin and the Chipmunks, smurfs, postman pat, scoobie-doo, Peabody and Sherman, Indiana jones, transformers, Ruff Mitchell from Dennis the Menace cartoons, flintstones house, Chucky from Child's Play, gremlins, simpsons, Elliot riding bike with E.T, John McClane from Die Hard, Jason Voorhees, Batman car, pee-wee Herman, Freddy kruger, Beetlejuice, Ash Williams from evil dead, platoon, aliens 2 armored car, poltergeist house, The Fall Guys truck, Snake Plissken\/Escape from New York, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Ferris Bueller's Day Off characters in red car, alien rammed down by previously mentioned armored car, nightrider, Giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from ghost busters and even then im sure i missed a bunch. wow lol what a game i think im gonna max it then you throw roger rabbit at me then i see postman pat then i see the ateam then i see herbie then i see the turtle van dam you lol this game is annoyingly cool i gurantee you will have trouble not hitting play again 10\/10 the most anoying game i ever liked to play im gonna beat it lol check points would be fun too for purchase. Man I love this game, it is nostalgia of PAPERBOY! BRILLIANT. Great fun arcade action. Clearly it's a revamped new-age paperboy clone. But that's ok as I feel it betters it in every way possible. You will find 'constant' nods to all things from the 80's and early 90's here. From cameos of old cartoon and movie characters. To old videogame characters turning up. It's a good laugh. :). Fantastic flashback of the 80's when I was a kid sitting on the floor playing Paper Boy on the NES.Great game, nicely made and fairly addicting.
