“I'm amazed and shocked how they managed to screw everything up... - Terrible level designs ✓ - Bad collisions ✓ - Awful hitboxes ✓ - Loading the wrong levels ✓ - Teleporting you out of bounds in the middle of the map randomly ✓ - Invisible…”
“Never been a huge fan of 2D plattformers and I don't have nostalgia for the original. I bought it as part of a bundle, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. It looks good and the animations aren't bad, but gameplaywise it feels like a flash…”
