Superola Champion Edition Review Cons:

Tutorials are basic and it feels like some are missing.
Cannot rebind controls.
The noise when you pick up a burger is very grating.
For every good level, you get a handful of plain boring ones.
No checkpoints.
The jumping is way too loose and spongey making a lot of trivial jumps a real pain in the ass.
The story mode is not great fun to play.
