A brutal but very addicting arcade side-scroller that's all about learning the game's rhythm and patterns, much like any good game of it's kind. It can be a bit frustrating at first, especially because of one hit deaths, but the levels are short enough that progress always feels achievable, and despite the challenging level design the control is very fluid and I never felt like I was fighting against the game. Once you get the hang of it though it feels great to perfectly slice your way through a level. Glad I didn't play this in an actual arcade because I would have gone broke after how many times I died though.
