Tough but with very forgiving checkpoints that are more akin to the save-state spamming I use on retro titles. A love letter to old games. Your little spider-mech spaceship thing can jump, fly, swim, leading to all sorts of tributes to Asteroids, scrolling shooters, there’s one part where you climb out of a pit by avoiding and jumping on falling Tetris blocks with a bastardised version of the music playing. A squid robot enemy turns up and your pilot guy says he hasn’t seen one of those since Parodius. You get the idea. It’s not wearing its influences lightly. Very very good anyway. I liked all of it. Quibbles are that the special weapons are a bit meh, so the main chunk of the game is just blasting away with the same old cannon that you start with. No real upgrades to it or chain effects or anything. Also I DESPISE having jump on shoulder buttons. But with both thumbs taken up because of the twin-stickiness, there’s no obvious solution. At least let me reassign it to the digital shoulder button instead of the long-depress hell of the ZL button. But you can’t change the button layout at all. Criminal. There’s only a couple of times where it gets into ultra-tight split second platforming stuff where it's an issue. But it really is an issue at that point. Anyway, I loved it. [9]

I know, I've turned Muzzy recommending it when he didn't into a running joke to amuse myself.
