I'm a platformer junkie; my library probably has hundreds of them. This is a good game although I am still fairly early on. No glitches / issues encountered.

A lovingly designed jump and run game that takes you back about 30 years with the graphics. The brilliant 8 bit sound supports the whole feeling. The game is also cheap. What more do you want? Thumbs up. :)

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
