As a big "CATASTROPHE CROW!" fan, I have to say that this official release of the game is weird, but in a good way! Some parts of the game just feel odd and out of place, sometimes even downright creepy. This is definitely a real treat! The game is loaded with content, and in a way, feels like more content than we have seen before. There is even an entire factory dedicated to the 'production' of the plushies that were actually on sale! I could tell you that I could have explored this for hours on end and examining every bit and detail about each level and environment. It is truly filled with a huge amount content!
It makes this game feel even more personal to Manfred. I can tell that judging by the later levels seen in the game that this was a much later build of the game when Manfred started working on the game by himself in complete isolation, or somewhere close to that time, because of the new content added. I could say that the game was probably in a beta stage at this point during development, and if one thing's for sure, this was DEFINITELY not a 'pre-release candidate'. Either an early beta, or a late beta. Probably more an early beta.
The only problem I have with the game is that the controls are a little bit iffy in some parts pf the game as you can tend to cling off the edge of platforms and some surfaces very easily. In my opinion, the controls need work in some areas to add just a little bit more polish. But even with all of the game's flaws, there is no denying that this is the definitive "CATASTROPHE CROW!" experience for anyone who is/was a fan of the original video.
Thank you Adam and OPUS Legacy for getting this out there!
This was definitely worth the 6-month wait.
