I actually like this game. My first experience didn't go too well since I was behind the learning curve. But now that I'm over that hump, I have a lot of respect for this DKC demake.
-The artstyle remains intact
-I never had trouble reading the screen (chalk it up to my perfect, albeit short-sighted vision)
-Most - like 93% - of the bonus barrels weren't cryptically hidden (though with every DKC game, there were a handful I needed to hunt down with a guide up)
-Rolling through enemies no longer speeds our hairy heroes up to mach speed, goomba stomping does this instead (bopping the flying pigs in the sky levels was nerve-wracking for this reason)
-Obstacles entered the screen at a reactable speed, IMO (Killer Instinct has honed my hand-eye coordination)
