+ Graphics are fantastic with some beautiful pixel art and cut-scenes that feature huge sprite work.+ Packs in an enormous amount of gameplay variety, which acts as an incentive to keep grinding to the next stage.
+ Fans of Super Meat Boy (2010, Xbox 360) will find lots to love thanks to the brutal challenge that demands perfection.
- However, it relies too heavily on trial-and-error and mercilessly drops in new mechanics with no prior learning.
- Entire game basically revolves around having to react to hazards up ahead that you have no visibility of until the last second.

- Many levels outstay their welcome by dragging on for far too long, which negates any real fun they may hold.
