This game is hard as gently caress. Pretty fun tho.

Alright, that's pretty clever. The second set of worlds has a lives system, and the number of lives you get is equal to the number of collectibles you collect from the first set, meaning you can't just rush through the game unless you're an absolute pro.

Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up

a mania well earned

The end of the Super Mega Cart is also tough but you've got lives and continues at least.

That blight cartridge secret is brutal. I didn't get that key or the last exit but I got the cartridge.

Lol I totally forgot you can just quit the secret and the cart will stay saved. I went all the way with that one

I am actually worried that I'm missing a percentage point or something for it - I just lost all my lives trying after trying to go backwards for the key a bunch.

I didn't like it. It just felt like super meat boy but you can't skip levels so you just get stuck on the same thing forever. I was hoping for something more like VVVVVV but it's not nearly as good, never really felt like it had any sense of place.

There's stuff I really like about it but I don't feel like going back to finish it.

It feels better than meat boy to me, or at least more consistent. I loved meat boy but it had a few elements that were extremely unpleasant. Nothing in this game is nearly as bad as those repel circles in meat boy and that is nearly enough for me.

I don't miss going back as much as I thought I would though it would have been cool to make a point of having every level traversable both ways.
