Old adventure game while not that great gameplay wise has a bit of charm to it. While it has the random in your face traps you see in games around this time, they showed up far inbetween enough that it never annoyed me. Some of the later stages have some small gimmicks like moving spikes or blocks that fall down when you land on them, and that made the game stay away from just being a needlefest with the occasional trap here and there.
The bosses are rather simple yet clever once you figure out how to beat them, and the sped up Guyrock instead of your average boss theme was pretty funny. They don't have alot of health so they aren't very difficult. The only bad part is that there never is a save right before the boss; you have to do a little bit of platforming to get back to the boss. The worst offender is the final boss where you have to listen to the crusty (yet hilarious) explosion sound everytime you break a block. While it doesn't take longer than 10 seconds, it gets annoying after a while.
Overall it's alright for the time it came out. Adventure games were trying to establish fun and unique gameplay that most of the older adventure games before it lacked, where they usually just went for heavy trap usage instead. It isn't amazing by today's standards, but like I said at the start it's more charming than anything else.
