It's a DOS era puzzle platformer, where most levels have a 'correct' path through and the player is expected to die a few times trying to execute on it perfectly. This HD remake addresses the biggest problem with the original (which I have played way too much): Everything loads and reloads WAY faster. Hardly groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it a lot, and the new achievement system and stats add a little extra 'keep going' engagement. I liked it. I'm surprised I liked it. I mean it's just a game I already have, but a little bit better.1 found this helpful
It's a retro game from the 90's that I like.1 found this helpful
Because this is very similar to Secret Agent HD (which I loved), I will link that review here: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198071206305/recommended/1607670?snr=1_5_9__402 Long story short: This is an excellent remake of an already excellent retro PC platformer. The controls are tight and the gameplay is challenging. In fact, although you can select from 3 difficulty levels, much of the difficulty is user-guided regardless of what difficulty you select. You can simply try to collect all the crystals in each level and head to the exit, but much of the satisfaction comes from trying to maximize your score. This involves beating levels without taking a hit, seeking out all bonus items, shooting every egg to collect letters to spell "bonus", triggering and collecting hidden fruit, hitting certain terrain from below to discover bonus crystals, maximizing temporary power-ups, and strategically managing your ammo (which is consistent between stages) to decide which enemies are worth shooting. Luckily, the levels aren't overly long so re-starting them usually isn't too punishing. The achievements are fun to get (although one is a bit grind-heavy), and there is even a hid…

A massive dose of nostalgia, with a level editor to boot. It might look a little different from the original on the surface, but underneath it's still the same fun game :-)
I loved this game as a kid. Truly a classic and no short of disappointments for the remaster. Abosultely NO clunky controls, NO frame rates drops and NO bugs. New bonus content, custom level creator attached to Steam Workshop and achievements but same classic game. Apogee created solid, fun games for the time. We had the shareware version, so it feels good to finally complete the story. Also, completely controller compatible.
