For those of you looking for some type of classic 16-bit style platformer, I'd definitely give this a pass, as the experience isn't nearly as polished as something like a Mario, Kirby, or Sonic title. It didn't tug on any nostalgic heartstrings for me, and I don't think it's a particularly good platformer in general".
