I picked this game for my Run & Gun spot for the Retro Achievements Challenge. This game has always been on a backlog for me to give it a playthrough and I'm happy I was able to finish it. The music is fantastic. But the game does have some big glaring issues and that there's virtual no health drops. It's super rare for them to drop. The other issue is that if you are turning or ducking/standing up and you try to jump, the game prioritizes the turn/duck/stand over the jump and this feels really clunky. It took me three restarts to beat the game. I got to the final stage and thought I had lost for good to be kicked back to the start but I miscounted my continues and was able to pull out the win. In all, a tough but great game.
