6/10. I love the grungy 80s aesthetic. The music and sound are great. But playability is pretty poor. I'm really puzzled by all the people saying this is a great game. There's no real logic to the order in which objects need to be picked up and used. I can't really tell what most of the objects are supposed to be, and there's no information in the manual on what they are and how to use them. Hit detection is abysmally unfair. You die despite there clearly being multiple pixels between you and an enemy. The ants roam around seemingly at random, making it difficult to tell how to avoid them, so you resort to waiting... and waiting... and waiting... (boooring) until you're (mostly) sure you'll be clear of them. And even then, it's all too easy to get cornered with nowhere to run. I'm just going to use save states to get through this thing since I've already spent my money on it, and then I doubt I'll ever play this again. I really wanted to like this after seeing all the positive reviews, and again, I think it's a lovely little offering both visually and sonically and there is a great idea at the heart of the game's design, so I applaud the developers for their efforts. But the playability is terrible.
