Cons:

  • Lose shields upon death but still use the checkpoint so kind of pointless.
  • Mobile phone port and it still mentions phones and touchscreen controls.
  • Can’t use the special attack as it’s touchscreen and no button is assigned to it.
  • Got stuck on a few platforms.
  • No Steam achievements.
  • No graphics option.
  • No fullscreen setting.
  • Same soundtrack or it’s very similar.
  • Coins feel redundant.
  • Same level design sections.
  • No leaderboards or points.
  • No replay value.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
