Finally, although I enjoyed the simple, responsive controls, I found myself wishing the aesthetic had gone further in a presenting a retro style. The synth soundtrack was mostly forgettable and the graphics didn’t evoke feelings of nostalgia; they were simple and plain. This blandness cemented my disappointment with the other problems I’ve highlighted. Some players may enjoy 99Moves on its concept alone; everyone else should set their expectations realistically.

For players of a certain persuasion there's plenty of love to go around for EnjoyUp's latest: costing about the same as a few plays at your local arcade, 99Moves offers a rock-hard retro challenge. But just the same as the coin-munchers of yore, one person's challenge is another's cheap trick. 99Moves doesn't do a great job at differentiating the two.
