Cons:

• Slow starter.
• It does a bad job of explaining how upgrades and abilities work and the whole shop thing.
• Difficulty spikes.
• Small menu icons.
• Timing jumps is a pain as it feels off.
• Level design can be hit and miss because if you miss a jump or hitting a lever you may land up walking back a ton then coming back.
• A lot of repetition.
