Omg, I'm having a lot of fun with this game, nice oldskool atmosphere, but f*ckin hell it is needlessly annoying. Lots of cheap shots (falling platforms, lamps, etc), but also you will never have the opportunity to heal after you die. So if you saved in an area that is difficult, it is potentially impossible to progress.
However, it is a really cool game, so the motivation is to continue is high. But, I'm on the verge of abandoning it, sad to say. It really is needlessly frustrating.
Might be me, of course. Wonder what other people think.
