  • Summary: Forget-Me-Not is a tiny little arcade game for one or two players. Mazes + monsters + shooting.
    You have to run around the infinite, ever changing corridors of the NEON DUNJUN, gathering flowers and shooting everything. ZAP!

    You have to run around the infinite, ever changing corridors of the NEON DUNJUN, gathering flowers and shooting everything. ZAP!

    Grab the key to the next floor, and try not to let monsters take it off you. Once you've picked all the flowers, the doorway shall appear...

    An important skill you should learn: Grinding the walls. Grind for a bit to charge yourself up for super enemy squishing powers and boosted speed. Don't let your charge build too high though or... '`*# KABOOM! #*'`

    Collect the longest unbroken chains of flowers you can for lots of combo points. Also collect fruit. Heaps and heaps of it. You'll get an extra life for each 100 pieces you grab. It's good for you.

    Two player device sharing mode. Take a friend along to help and/or hinder you.

    Three game modes.

    .oO( Standard ) - Start from the start, travel as far in as you can.

    .oO( Survival ) - Same as standard but you only get one life. Make it count - you won't be given any more no matter how much fruit you collect..
    .oO( Shuffle ) - Oh no! Space/time has gone higgledy-piggledy. Play through levels in random order.

    Procedurally generated, screen-wrapping, destructible mazes. Tiny little pixelly graphics and zappy retro sound effects.    … Expand

    Add a dash of Rogue, a large helping of Pac-Man, and you have the recipe for addictive arcade action.

    A 5-Dimple stunner that has earned a permanent place on our iDevices.

    Is Forget-Me-Not better than Pac-Man? I'm not sure I'd go that far. But it's one of the best iPhone games I've seen, and I enthusiastically recommend it.

    A retro game that combines classic Pac Man game mechanics with shooting... in a truly authentic old-school style.

    It's dripping with retro goodness but doesn't bank on nostalgia to provide a compelling experience. An all around excellent game.

    A great little retro arcade game – and I mean arcade in the truest sense. This feels like something that could have been made in the 1980′s and just recently unearthed. This is 'retraux' in incredibly fine form, and well worth checking out for fans of arcade games and fans of retro-styled games.

    As an experiment in making a genuine retro game, and as a tribute to a forgotten title of yore, Forget-Me-Not is brilliant. But as a 2011 release, even with rose-tinted spectacles firmly applied, it's much harder to recommend.

Chances are, the first hour or two of playing a game, especially a game of performance or skill, gives a good indicator of what to expect from a game. Take Forget-me-not, a game that looks like a Pac-Man clone with the exception that you shoot lasers when moving - one might think that after an hour of gobbling pellets and dodging baddies, one would have a good sense of the entirety of the package. In this case, scratch that, as the perception of it being another Pac-Man clone threw me off the scent of Forget-me-not altogether. I was entirely ready to write this game off, a game that had received rather high Metacritic scores across the board. What were those guys thinking? Well, it turns out that once I forgot all about Pac-Man, Forget-me-not blossomed into a fantastic game of challenge, strategy, and adictively chasing the high score.… Expand
