The music, the pixel art and the cutscenes/story especially are all well made. The gameplay is pretty rough but if you're into precision platforming it's enjoyable.
Too simplistic and more frustrating than fun. One of the few games that had me switching to "story mode" difficulty. Sometimes the jumps feel unresponsive. This one is only for those who enjoy pain. Pretty banger soundtrack and nice Ninja Gaiden-style cutscenes.
