TAYAL

As much as I love retro platformers and megaman games, I must say comment on a negative note on this one... it has terrible enemy design. Some enemies are activated too close to the player for the player to stand any chance against them, and the trajectories of some projectiles are unavoidable at best. A porcupine enemy in the ice stage shoots three projectiles that can't possibly be avoided. There is a huge spider enemy which once killed explodes releasing small projectiles which hit you every time. A few enemies even blend in the background, like the cactus enemy in the desert level which can't be distinguished from background props, or the flea monster in the same level, which is black like the background in which it appears. This may be remotely acceptable, but enemy energy drops is almost non-existent. In the game you're supposed to make use of a dog to help you in jumping and avoiding enemies etc, but in some instances the dog is useless because in the quicksand it doesn't even respond when you jump on it. I'd like to love this game also considering its budget and low cost, but gameplay is rage inducing.

I haven't been playing this game very long but I noticed a pretty bad input lag when playing the "Duma" stage. its exceptionally bad during the cloud jump section. The whole game does this. It wasn't noticeable at first, I thought it was my controller but alas its the game itself. Not sure what is causing it but it makes the stages nearly impossible to beat due to the precise inputs required to play. Really wanted to like this game but it is unplayable in this state. I would not recommend purchasing this game in this state.
