The 20 chapters and their alt forms are all fine and offer a challenge that’s in keeping with the theme of the game. It starts of easy and gets progressively harder, like a good platformer should.

Read moreThe 20 chapters and their alt forms are all fine and offer a challenge that’s in keeping with the theme of the game. It starts of easy and gets progressively harder, like a good platformer should. I didn’t really have too much of an issue with the levels aside from a few coins. I had heard the Impossible lair was hard and that’s an understatement. It is so ludicrously harder than anything the game offers consequently meaning players haven’t been given a fair offering of experience to prepare themselves. You may have 48 lives but the level is so long with multiple stages and boss fights it would make Crash Bandicoot blush. Needless to say its a test of patience and exhaustion. I really don’t understand the decision to make the final level so disproportionally difficult, hell I’m even playing the updated version where the devs patched in checkpoints, they softened their sadism just ever so slightly yet the end result still remains anger and displeasure. Its pretty frustrating to be right at the end and be in a position where you’re unable to cross the finish line because the race organisers have placed a huge hurdle in the form of a 10 ft brick wall in front of you. You may get the usual crowd with the usual ‘git gud’ but I can’t help but feel this final level is just dick move. The kindest thing I can say is that it lives up to its name.
