For some of the bosses, if I stood by the closest rock thing a bit past it, it was a lot easier to manipulate their attacks/jumps.

But anyway, after only 2 planets, I called it quits. Cool variety to the looks of the worlds, and good enough music, both of which usually would get me to push through, but something felt banal and passable about it. Maybe it was the side scrolling shoot em up spaceship parts, they just felt forced. The Metroid-vibe side scrolling platformer shooter had a nice feel, but still wasn't enough to warrant pushing through.

Stopped as I went to the 3rd planet, with Score of 71650
