Filled with so many weird design choices that leave me stumped as to what the thought process was. For some reason, holding the attack button while moving doesn't cause you to run like 90% of other side-scrollers... it makes you walk...

At what point in this game would the player think to themselves “jeez, all this sluggish jogging back and forth between locations is a little too fast paced for my liking, maybe I should WALK INSTEAD”.
