    I’m relieved to get to the end of it not because I’m looking forward to playing all of the bosses again in one try, but because it means that if I fail—if I die to a boss repeatedly and run out of lives—I don’t have to go back through the exact same level full of the tedious, non-threatening enemies again, and again, and again; I can just play the bosses, which is what this game should have been about from the beginning.

It's a simple, at-times difficult NES-style platformer with the more interesting story lying in the hard mode. In that mode, some of the later bosses get insane. Not for everyone. Full Review »

    Very simplistic game with clunky-feeling controls and lackluster bosses that cheese you more than test your skills.
