[Played on the Retron 5 with the original cartridge]
I remembered this game being a perfectly passable platformer when I first played it. I never played it very far or for very long so I just thought it was fun for what I saw. I think now that I've seen the whole thing I can say that it's kind of boring.
I don't really have any in-depth reasoning for this opinion. I just played it and thought it wasn't very entertaining. I think a major part of this was figuring out how to beat all the bosses. I found most of them to be really frustrating without the egg bombs. Additionally, the levels themselves were littered with rather frustrating setpieces, like the lava climb in the castle level or the way the slippery ice worked in the snow level. The game functions well but everything around that solid ground is really flimsy and annoying to work through.
About the only thing I can enjoy about this game is the Grand Dad bootleg and how strange it is.
6/10
