Then I had to wrestle with awkward controls and clunky mechanics, accompanied by ridiculously annoying enemies that drain all your health away before you're able to kill them. I died so many times it's not even funny (THOSE DAMN BEES!)On the other hand with what I've seen so far, the level design is rather good, although a little bit obstructed by the limited view distance, forcing you sometimes to do a leap of faith. Thankfully, they forgo the classic 1-hit, 3-lives style of difficulty that the old games liked to do, and allowed you to do a lot mistakes by giving you 50 lives from the start and a bigger than normal amount of hit-points, which also helps at the beginning, when you're still getting used to the controls, which can take a while.It's nowhere near as good as the best of the genre from SNES era, it makes me think of something more akin to Lester the Unlikely. But, after spending a couple of hours in it, I can see myself playing more of it.It's not a game I would recommend to most people, but if you played a lot of SNES platformers (other than Mario and Megaman,) you'll feel right at home. So if you're looking for that nostalgia fix, this might be perfect for you, despite its faults.
