They do deserve a lot of credit for how well they nailed the control for one of the earliest 3-D platformers, game feels great baring a few nitpicks (wall jumps being kinda finnicky, the weird turning inconsistencies and the lack of inertia on moving platforms)
The level design is a bit of a mixed bag however, there are a lot of great stages but a few do kind of fall flat, the swimming focused stages like Jolly Roger bay are just kind of boring, and some of the later stages are fun for being more platform heavy but get a little tedious when you go into them multiple times like Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Ride what with their more linear. I probably would not enjoy going for 100% but just going for 70 stars is an enjoyable experience.
