Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan has great playability, keeping things challenging and allowing you to re-challenge main bosses. It’s just a few glitches that hinder the gameplay and subtract from the experience, yet it still remains extraordinarily fun.
Retro-inspired 2D platformers simply don't get much better than Sydney Hunter so grab your whip and get ready for a great time.

Amazing game! The graphics and playability are an awesome throwback to the retro good old days. The story is very well thought out and is a really fun adventure. The soundtrack is amazing. I’m really happy I picked this one up, highly recommend!

Great platformer game. This reminds me of Montezuma's Revenge. I bought it and told my granddaughter about it. She bought it, too. :)

None of it quite meshes together as effortlessly as the games from which it takes influence, and there are some minor frustrations to take note of. Primarily, unlocking new levels requires a set number of crystal skulls which are hidden among stone blocks – these can be quite tricky to find on your first visit, so you’ll likely need to replay levels two, or maybe even three times to unlock enough to progress further, which can prove irritating after a while.
While the adventure held my attention for a little while, eventually the backtracking and repetition wore me down. Those looking for a demanding action-platformer with Metroidvania elements may find buried treasure here. Others are just as likely to find Sydney Hunter full of fool’s gold.
This is one of the best platforming games to come out in years. It takes every good aspect of many classic platforming games and creates an unforgettable masterpiece. The graphics, music and gameplay are all top notch. If you are a fan of classic platforming games, Sydney Hunter is a must buy.

Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is a fun action platformer that harken back to the retro games. It has elements that you may recognize from the Mega Man series, Castlevania series, with some others mixed in. The music is catchy, and the level designs are solid. The game is challenging, yet fair, and the difficulty makes it even that much more rewarding to beat. The story is interesting with the Mayan backdrop, and you can tell that the team did their research on the Mayan mythology. I also really enjoyed the humour in the game. I definitely recommend Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan.

If you're looking for a great platformer to take you back to the era of blowing in your games to make them work....look no further!

Honestly, most of the game is great, but there are a few absolutely BAFFLING decisions that make it so annoying for me. As an example, if you put unskippable cutscenes in your game, that you have to watch each time you lose against the boss, **** you and your game. Wouldn't be as bass if boss designs were less obtuse, especially the last one. There are a few obvious issues in what is otherwise a great game.

This game has MANY rough edges, unpolished gameplay and generally amateurish production quality.
I have no idea why there are so many overwhelmingly positive reviews for this game... the only thing that makes sense to me is the possibility that most of the reviewers were paid.
By the way, the creator of the original Sydney Hunter game seems to agree that this game is trash: ****/
