There are secret passages absolutely everywhere. It has some cool original upgrades that are optional and some really nice pathing. The game gets a little confusing in the final third, and doesn’t quite stick the landing for me (the ending especially), but it is a great bang for your time hack.
Not S tier (like super Junkoid and subversion) but possibly A or B. Would’ve just liked some more invisible hand guidance - especially for the screw attack - and a more fleshed out ending.
