The game not only forces you to spam a hard-to-pull-off move so you can get rid of the enemies faster and make it on time but also uses the resource of making the protagonist so weak that even a small lamp can send him flying through the stage, having to wait for him to regain consciousness and making you waste more time.

Half a star because the sound design is very cool.
Half a star because that teddy bear boss is pure nightmare fuel.
And a last third-half star because I have definitely seen worse.

Play the Japanese version. Not sure why but the american version reduced the time limit while making the enemies damage sponges in lower difficulties. On the original version you cannot spam the roundhouse kick to one hit kill enemies, and both the roundhouse kick and the "Super Rick tentacles" are performed doing Jump + Punch.
It still heavily punishes getting hit but the game relies more on strategic placing and crowd control while being way more lenient with the time.
