Preliminary: It feels a bit redundant/silly so far but I mean it's a platformer and I managed to beat the whole first level without savestating once (gasp is that a sign we are getting to the era where I wont have to abuse savestates to finish a game?!).

Preliminary: It feels a bit redundant/silly so far but I mean it's a platformer and I managed to beat the whole first level without savestating once (gasp is that a sign we are getting to the era where I wont have to abuse savestates to finish a game?!). Quite forgiving with the damage you can withstand and health collectibles. At first I was gonna drop it cuz the segments as a human are very sluggish and the collision masks of the enemies are bad (tho forgiving), but the music is good and the robot parts were way faster-paced. We shall see, it just seems to be missing something.
If it weren't for the music tho I'd probly drop it. After all, we are almost to Castlevania III and Super Mario World, I can expect a lot from games. And these human parts are so sluggish. Then I failed a jump to a platform and it was instant gameover lol. But there was a nice little Continue feature.
Welp, as pretty as it was and good music too, I just couldn't get myself to push through Stage 3 (Fire Zone). Which is too bad cuz there are only 7 stages it seems. is what it is, decent game but the human parts are too sluggish and it just feels redundant.
