Slow down girl dang.
A bit frustrating in parts, but overall, pretty fun. The sprite art is pleasant to look at, and I think the overall gameplay is fun enough.
Layla se sustenta unicamente na sua vibe de anime anos 80 que todos amam.
De resto, é um jogo bem repetitivo de andar pra direita e atirar. O jogo oferece várias armas para usar, que em grande parte é apenas cosmético e não oferece lá muita diferença, já que os inimigos caem em 2-3 tiros.
Ainda assim, uma relíquia que apenas poderia existir no Famicom

For a NES game, try's a lot of things, but, surprisingly is an extremely repetitive game
cute! gay! kinda fun!
yeah, the floaty jumping and shooting do feel a little bit like cave story, but there's nowhere near that game's level of complexity to the (nearly total absence of) exploration: it's all running left to right, hopping in an elevator, blasting stuff with your space bike in shoot 'em up bonus stages, etc. levels are called asteroids, and they're all full of robots, sweets (cake and ice cream!), and floppy disks — and occasionally secrets. the weapon variety does lend it a touch of complexity (bosses are typically vulnerable to one weapon or another), though it should also be mentioned that layla takes a moment to turn around, somewhat hampering the fluidity of the action.
i almost want to rate this game more highly... it's '80s anime as all heck and despite the extreme simplicity and mild control awkwardness it's just so charming i kinda love it.

so like....this is proto-cave story. the level design, the switching weapons, the portion where you have an ai-controlled partner, the sense of momentum, the general structure. was this what pixel was pulling from when making cave story? what the hell. i've played the first level of this game a few times on a lark but never actually sit down with it until now and, just, wow. i cant believe this is from 86.
