The levels in this game are what shine. It's varied and interesting, and each level has different challenges for you to overcome in different ways. All the powers you get have uses, and they're all necessary at at least one point in the game. The bosses are good too, with well telegraphed attacks and interesting patterns.

However, It's easy to abuse all the powers you get. You can heal yourself, you have a charge move that can be used anywhere and makes you invincible that you can fly through levels with, a power that makes you invincible for a short time, etc. They are way too generous with lives. They need to give you less. That was my main issue playing this game the couple times I did. I really did not struggle. I will say it's at least worth playing, however.
