The game does an excellent job of creating these sort of "gauntlet" like sections to its levels, especially on the hardest difficulty, where you start to worry more and more about where your next wad of ammo and health is going to come from and getting through such sections feels very rewarding.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The colourful sprites still look pretty good, the sound effects are quaint but add so much atmosphere, the music by Bobby Prince is iconic.
