+ Frequently includes clever puzzle elements, such as purposely taking damage in order to reach lower platforms.
+ Graphics feature excellent rotation effects and parallax scrolling that really showcase the console's capabilities.
- Gameplay can be punishingly tough until you memorise layouts and enemy patterns, and there's no difficulty options.
- Both buttons are mapped to shoot, but having to press one while walking in order to jump leads to inadvertent presses.
- SFX are distracting, particularly when bouncing ball enemies are visible and you're trying to concentrate on your next move.
- Shoot-em-up mini-game between levels is rather dull, as you can only fire slow moving, singular bullets.
