Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
40 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
The pace of the gameplay thankfully means you don't lose much (if any) progress, as you're constantly replaying the stages and honing your skills until you can finally beat that dang crab!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
The overwhelming meat of the game lies in the difficulty to actually go through with your solutions, rather than coming up with them.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
No overbearing story, no annoying characters, no unnecessary padding and cutscenes.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
11 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
I love this game, it is easily my favorite platforming series, you cannot go wrong with it but make sure you use a controller with a good dpad like the Buffalo Classic USB pad
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 162 sampled reviews raised it
Really amazing platformer with a very specific charm you can't find anywhere else thanks to the graphics, music, art direction, and fish.
