One of the greats. A triumph of creative level design, incredible art direction, and some of the funniest dialogue you'll ever hear in a video game - wickedly, and twistedly, hilarious and consistently has you in stiches from it's subversions of storytelling tropes to simple running gags that get more absurd as they continue onwards.

It also has an unexpected emotional depth that separates it from other platformers on the market, and the themes and ideas it tackles here are explored beautifully. As the game goes, it becomes more and more disturbed and disgusting but that's part of the charm here - a wonderfully lingering darkness that is Don Bluth in it's influence. Just an incredible gaming experience, timeless.
