An improvement on Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe in pretty much every aspect: presentation, mechanics, difficulty; it's not only a refinement on an idea but one of the better puzzle games I've played in a while (and I play a lot). While I think progression can be a little slow (still better than the more cutthroat grind in SPPD), the gameplay loop is extremely addicting: you feel like you improve at strategy & reflexes with every session but there's also enough randomness to push you forward in a surprise way & keep things fresh. Love the clean design of everything with the bright simple colors and cutesy design, and even the little added elements like the trophy room or picking up random ships adds some extra spice. It'll be a while before I actually get close to finishing this (maybe the endgame levels become ridiculous in difficulty), but so far this gets close to some of my top puzzle games of all time.
