Feel exactly the same as the majority regarding this game. Platforming levels are fun. Vehicle levels suck. And god are they fucking miserable, with the motorcycle and plane levels especially. Like really ND, it wasn't enough to make the motorcycle handle like a tank? Now we gotta do it in the dark w/ fat UFOs blocking the road and chasms sucking you in for barely clipping their edges? Y'all crying about Abby in 2020, ND been trash since '98 for this nonsense. AND the fact that the secret world (26-30) only consisted of VEHICLE levels (not counting the two secret paths for already-existing levels)? Was so disappointed when I came to that realization, this just might be my least favorite of the trilogy.

Game is great. Most notably Hat Girl controls incredibly offering a feeling of freedom of movement whilst also offering a lot of things to learn and improve at, the game's personality and sense of humour is very entertaining and deeply endearing, and the variety both in level design and the challenges you face means the experience never feels repetitive or like it's overstaying its welcome.

I particularly love how unique and different the level concepts are from most other platformers. I also, frankly, just love how fun the game is. I also love that the game has an actual challenge mode to push you to your limits.

incredible narrative on games as art, difficulty, the digital medium of language and creation, authorship, and finding comfort in trash and frustration.

the anti-Celeste: a game about climbing a mountain with no way to adjust the difficulty, no special abilities, no one around to help you, stripped down to only the game, your hand, and your will.

i understand if the gameplay is not for you, but it's also an incredible speedgame, look it up.
