• Plays differently from the original thanks to some tweaks and how the jump works. Basically making the game harder but also challenging pros and noobies alike.

Cons:

• Doesn’t play well if you have your magnifier on in Windows. I do as I play on a big screen, Turning it off fixed it but otherwise, it makes the screen like 4 times bigger than it needs to be meaning you cannot see or select options.
• Can be hard to read some button icons.
• Difficult.
• Hard to judge jumps.
• The tweaks have made everything much harder.
• Extra lives icon shows as Crash even if you are playing as COCO.
