2ND UPDATE: as of now i've completed all levels minus X as each character. i've cleared about 7 levels in X as Miss Noir and i have to say it's very hit-or-miss. a couple of them are pretty rewarding and simple, but the rest so far are just a slog that feel more like ragebait level designs than a fun challenge. i honestly feel like level 9 was a perfect stopping point for the Kaizo gameplay and gameplay in general...
It's like if that switch panel mechanic from Mario Galaxy was turned into a full game. I give it a 6/10, I don't see myself playing it constantly, but it's a good small game.
