Treasure never misses as per ususal. NGL tho there are a few things the game does near the end that I wasn't particularly a fan of. The game has a lot of action in it and gives a lot of movement options that make the game feel like a pesudo-sequel to alien soldier (which is probably one of the highest compliments i can give to a 2D action game). However, due to the fact supers are easy to farm you are mostly going to be relying on spamming arm cannon lasers to deal with most encounters, and the invincible dash move isn't nearly as snappy as the one in alien soldier. You also have to play through the game twice for some reason, with a whole bunch of cryptic secrets that are mandatory to see the true ending, so get a guide ready. It felt like padding, but I think the padding was probably done on the behalf of hitmaker, the co-developer of this game, whereas treasure did the gameplay front, which is indeed kickass. This game is still something you should try if you enjoy action games, but it just didn't hit the same super huge highs as treasures other 16-bit games.
