This was challenging, but fun. At no point did I feel like I couldn’t make it to the end, even if I lost at the same spot multiple times. The checkpoints helped with that. It felt rewarding when reaching a new checkpoint, particularly after just getting through a difficult area, and it felt less frustrating to lose after hitting one. I also really liked that the checkpoints remembered the time when I first hit it. I’m use to the timer continuing, even when you die and return to a check point, so it was a nice difference.
The game was fast-paced, but I still felt like I had complete control of my character at all times. I felt the desire to have my character keep moving, even though there was seldom any external force making me feel that way.
The graphics were simple and worked well. They showed the information you needed to know, and the color contrast made things easy to see. I liked the way some of the levels felt like there were branching paths, while still making it fairly clear which way you needed to go.
All in all, I enjoyed playing this one.
