Oh dear. It's fine to do a faithful remaster, but keeping all the bad mechanics is not the point.
Alex Kidd falls like he has lead feet, yet goes from 0 to 60 when moving. No speed build up or decrease making him control erratically.

He can't fit under the blocks he punches because his hair makes him too tall. You can crouch, but you can't move or punch.
Enemies just walk and float around, there's nothing dynamic about them at all.
At least they updated the graphics and sound. But that's about it.
I don't hate it... it just feels like a terrible waste. Alex Kidd is a classic series that has the charm that a decent reimagining could have helped shine here.
