A Surprisingly Excellent Twist On The Classic Arcade Platformer Template
Look: 8/10
Wow, I love the Lost World look giving me grass platformer tease.. plus, the frozen vibe look of Stage 2 
Overall, the sprites are functional and some especially cute. The phoenix and phoenix feathers are particularly notable.

Sound: 8/10 Wow I love that intro song, and the song that plays when you finish a stage. And even the jingle during the levels was excellent, cutesy, Mario-esque, and getting me ready for the mid 80s yay!
Play: 8/10
After playing a bunch of '83 Atari 2600/VCS games yesterday, I got so used to quick playthroughs and mediocre games. At first, I was just proud that I finished Stage 1, tho I lost several lives during it 
I thought I wouldn't really like this gameplay. Most the videos I watched required so much patience and waiting for a good chance to just shoot your spear up and go. And then the invincibility aspect was just sorta like Pac Man. But it all came together to be pretty fun, and I played it in a fast-paced reckless way instead of the cautious better way, because I wanted to have fun ha. For the most part, very tight controls and collision masks, tho climbing up when you reach the end of your spear/rope thingy is a bit clunky.
Feel: 8/10 Gotta love 80s arcade games, they had the capabilities that console and home computer games didn't. What could have been a tedious twist on a platformer turned out to be quite fun.
Attachment: 8/10 While I was still having fun, I quit at about 17k Score on Stage 3. (well, let's be honest, I lost my last life there lol). I think I will likely return to this as a pick-up-and-play-able and get-together-able arcade game that my brothers and I could enjoy. Definitely worth a playthrough if interested at all.
Completion: To Stage 3; ~17,000 Score Playtime: ~30 mins
