I remember enjoying the original on the 3DS for what it was when it originally released and also remember a significant amount of hype for the game before it came out. However, it must have been a pretty slow period for the handheld because this feels way worse than I remember.
The movement is extremely stiff and the jetpack doesn't help out in that regard. I really enjoy tough platformers but the character has to feel good to control and the difficulty can't feel too unfair. Unfortunately, neither holds true here, and the gun promotes a pretty boring gameplay style of camping and shooting at enemies until the screen is cleared, then progressing.
Ends up feeling like a flash game that I would have had fun with for an afternoon and then forgotten soon after, not a premium eshop title for the 3DS.
