Played this as a kid and thought it was pretty cool (mainly because of the final boss and all the playable characters). Played it again recently and it's definitely worse than I remember but not terrible.

The level design was pretty basic and all 5 acts (a few tomany), looked pretty similar. There was definitely a lot of colors and movement in the background but every zone of a stage felt the same. Also the bosses were pretty boring.

The "ring power" (tether gimic) had some interesting ideas, but holy shit did it mess with more precise platforming making it frustrating on occasions.

The music was pretty good and having 7 different characters to play as was pretty cool.

Not too sure on the story of this game it just kinda drops you in at the beginning then rolls the credits immediately at the end.
