This game is a couple of design choices away from being really great, but given the lack of those small changes, it really makes it frustrating and pointless. Even at a $1.49, its just not a game you want to play.
Suggestions:
1. Switching characters should pause the action
2. Each character should be allowed to damage or control enemies
3. Simplify your controls (X to double jump, or jump off of walls, huh?)
4. Each character's controls should have congruence to each other, A is always jump, X is always an attack or action.
5. Each character should feel as powerful or useful as the next. Currently, only two of your four characters are useful.
6. Communicate more clearly about the capabilities and limitations of your characters if you plan on forcing experimentation and a full restart to the beginning of each level OR respawn from where you last died OR give health OR lives. I was unsure of which character to use in a number of situations (will this character cause damage, will this character make it across this gap?) until I died and was punished by being forced to replay from the beginning and lose all my coins.
7. Fix that jump float. It is so hard to aim for enemy's heads or ledges/platforms. This coming from a video game player whose played and beaten multiple Megaman games.
Very low quality sound effects, clunky controls and uninspired graphics. The graphics almost work but just miss the mark.
I bought this for local co-op and it's a barely playable trainwreck.
They clearly made a single player game with lots of unstable/vanishing platforms then added local co-op after. The camera also favors following whoever picks blue so theres lots of off screen deaths.
Wish I played it sooner so I could have returned it.

Horrible Controls and movement physics. The game its self may have some good content and level design, however there is no fun to be had only frustration and for $14.99 there is no way I can recommend the game, even on sale I can't recommend. In addition at least two of the positive reviews are fake, I never knew how people could tell if a review was fake and so when I saw two reviews for Unit 4 each with comments saying they are fake, I thought I would look a little closer. Both are written by profiles set on private, which alone doesn't justify suspicion, however they both only have a few games and "2" Reviews and when I looked at the two reviews for both those accounts they were both for the exact same 2 games which also happened to be 2 games developed by the same company as eachother with similar reviews. In conclusion I recommend you, the reader, avoid this game, not because of sketchy reviews but because the most important part of any platformer is movement and controls and physics and this game has all of those wrong, and I love platformers so this was quite a disapointment.
Unit 4 is a retro platformer developed and published by Gamera Interactive
Upon first look, Unit 4 may appear to be a simple Megaman clone, but there's actually quite a bit more to it than that. Unit 4 is about an evil alien army that has stolen a sacred artifact from your home planet. Rumors swirl of other planets having the same thing happening to them. Your team (Unit 4) will embark on a journey to try and discover what is going on.
Unit 4 plays like an old school NES platformer. You control a single player on the screen with the ability to change into one of your Unit 4 brethern with a push of a button. Each person in your team has a different ability to help bypass obstacles and enemies in your way. Blue has the ability of mega jump which allows him to jump extremely high, Red has a super dash which is very useful smashing through enemies, Green has the justic hook which allows him to latch onto walls, and Yellow has ghost flight which allows him to glide through their air and through enemies. This game also supports 4 player locally allowing all 4 Unit 4 members to be on the screen at the same time.
This game is very reminiscent to unforgiving old school NES games. It may take 15 minutes just to get past one section of a level due to the intricacy of the levels. This game also has a few mini games such as racing in it which if you win can give you items to allow you to customize your Unit 4 hero, or your ship, these changes are sticly aestetic though and don't actually change anything else.
The level select screen is laid out like a Galactic map allowing you to pick levels. The more levels you finish, the move planets you are able to visit. Despite the game sporting an old school appearance, the graphics are very sharp, and the developer did a fantastic job of making the game appear to be modern while sporting an 8-bit look. The game has 15 different planets, and 3 different worlds to fight for. Each planet contains about 10 levels and a mega boss at the end that will test your patience and skills.
This game is a lot of fun to play, but can be extremely frustrating due to the difficulty of some of the bosses (as shown above). I have not tried the 4 player local version yet, but part of me thinks that with the exception of the bosses, it would make the game a lot harder trying to move from left to right without leaving your team members behind.
Unit 4 is currently $14.99 on Steam and can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/633440/Unit_4/
I would give this game 4 out of 5 stars for the type of game it is. It's a old school platformer game, you're not going to get anything earth shattering here, but it's a lot of fun.
