    This is a good platformer game with some "metroidvania" elements to it (albeit it lacks the content of a metroidvania game). The characters are fun, yet simple, one dimensional (and of a game of this kind its not a bad thing). The music is GREAT, and so does the sprites and enviroments.

    It might have lot a little bit of the spark it had when it was originally released, but it still is a great game, fun, challenging and addictive. Ideal for those who feel like playing a game that might have been made in the 8-16 bit era.
