Demon turf combines the linear, varied platforming of the Mario Galaxy games with the free movement of Mario 64 into a truly impressive indie package. There is a lot to like here as the game is chocked full of content, and all of it being fun. Every level has a harder variant which genuinely shakes up the level design and obstacles rather then just slapping a filter and random clear condition on it. The combat is itself based on momentum and movement rather then failed recreations of action combos. The one flaw here is that the final move you unlock, the time slow down, is pretty lame and forces you to to restrict your movement to get past artificial barriers when all the previous upgrades increased your movement options. Though even this games time slow is far better then the ones featured in its peers like a hat in time.
