How it feels

A punishing, precision-demanding 2D action-platformer where every move must be exact and death is swift and frequent.

What players say

Players say it is more of the brutally hard original, but levels are longer and the fixed-trajectory jumping leads to cheap-feeling deaths. Some praise the tighter checkpoint system while others dislike how the continue system can send you back to the start of a level.
