What players think
The recurring themes across 183 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It might be the longest arcade sidescroller I ever played, at least 4 to 5 hours on the lowest difficulty, potentially much longer if you play with only 5 credits, not to mention some replay value if you go for the true ending or replaying with different characters.
This game does have a rather fun couch-co-op option; this was the reason it was on my radar at all on steam.
Very much a fan service if you liked those classic games with simple gameplay, you will spot all kinds of design references, both in gameplay and the visuals.
The animations are smooth and easy to read, and the sound design is great.
On same topic, I felt like the later worlds also had better visuals for the tiles, where the first 3 sometimes didn't have a good texture on the rocks, looked cheaper than the second half of the game, but the effects like water and overall coloring still looked good.
It's unfortunate that we didn't get a true multiplayer, if the game does well maybe we could aim for the peer to peer with a lobby, it just seems like a game you would want to play with random people.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and are not shown.
