I really got myself Pepsi™ before starting this up.

Maybe it's the caffeine from the Pepsi™ that I drank, but Pepsiman™ had me laughing out loud for the 45 minutes I had with this game. From the absurdity of such a mascot to the not so well translated cutscenes in between the 4 stages to the nonsensical narrative, I was enjoying myself. This is about as "America through Japanese lens" as "America through Japanese lens" can get and I had a lot of fun. There's some BS such as Stage 3-3 and 4-2 where there are moments that make you squeeze through tight spots and trial and error, but not enough to make me dislike the game.
