Oh and I wish it had a stage select mode. (maybe as an unlockable?) The hidden third difficulty option is everything you would want it to be and it elevates the whole game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
8 of 41 sampled reviews raised it
On-point rendition of late 80s/early 90s action-platformer, the few modern-esque tropes and mechanics are selective and integrated with a lot of care.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 41 sampled reviews raised it
A bunch of shmovement tools that come with shcommitment, small hitboxes but no dodging i-frames, special attacks using non-auto-regenerating resources, sanded-off difficulty spikes with still some potential RNG surprises, and in the audiovisual department, fun YM2612-style soundtracks paired the developer's unique art style.
