Really fun adventure game. However the third boss was pretty unfun to me, especially with the fact it removes your second jump when the phase transitions and sometimes you just get walled/unable to damage the boss. The fourth stage boss also has a bug where if you either jump or pre-charge a bomb (i don't know what caused it between the two) you just die.

A fun and easy marathon game like adventure game, that has enjoyable gameplay from start to finish. The third level has a really stupid concept though, as it makes you rebeat the entire level if you didn't find all keys. Most of them are basically impossible to miss, except the first one, unless you pay really close attention

There's no doubt this is a classic colab game. Basically an anthology with a bunch of different styles emulating various famous game franchises (Metroid, Kirby, etc.). The narrative, framing and voice work is such a treasure, and exactly what I want to be seeing from high quality fangames. Despite that, this game will only be as enjoyable as the individual segments, and my experience was mixed. The Kirby stage was pretty boring and the Metroid game was frustrating. Still, it can't dampen a compelling overall experience. Recommended.

Every experience of this game I enjoyed greatly from Stage 1 to 4. However, the final boss phase 1 wasn't very fun to play for me and I did get a little annoyed there. Phase 2 however was much better. Overall would reccomend for a beginner experience
