...Wait, people dislike this game? This feels like a predecessor to all the best platformers of the 2010s, even if it has a slew of its own issues.
Sure, it's thematically repetitive (a lot of the same graphics and music throughout). The bosses are dumb. I think the fact you need to get enough stars to unlock boss levels on Normal mode is unnecessary. But, like, the level design is just really good, and manages to pose a challenge without being TOO obnoxious till the end. Even then, there's not really too much shame in switching to Easy mode if Normal is giving you grief - you'll still get to see the ending and all.
It's quite the creative and fun indie effort. I'm peeved this never got a sequel. As fun as I'm sure the Destroy All Humans remake is, I do want Black Forest to return to this one day.
