Pretty good

I took this game in a nostalgia fever, since it kinda reminded me of those old TV-connected console games, with 99 games in 1 that I used to own as a kid, and what can I say? I enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, if you are into nostalgia trips, this game is good. It has a lot of good in it, and some bad. The good: - The leveling system is intriguing, letting you choose between 3 upgrades which I find fresh and neat. - The difficulty of the game is nicely set for me. I didn't feel the game gets too easy or hard on all difficulties. - The sprite work is not of exceptional quality, but the colors are nice and they are rather charming. - To my shock, there is a story.

The bad: - There are some exploits in the game, allowing a user to farm Xp in the first boss, and trivialize the rest of the game. - The final boss…
