Here are the pros and cons:
+ The game is decently challenging, and even though some complain about having to restart the level from the beginning, it actually makes you learn the game. Having mastered dodging the enemies and learning their attack patterns, learning the secrets and obtaining the upgrades, the game becomes quite fair in terms of difficulty.
+ Music is pretty good, on par with the previous game, and the enemies are pretty similar in terms of the design.
- Due to the limitations of Gameboy, the game suffers from slowdowns and texture shimmering.
- The game requires some grinding to get items in the beginning, while hearts are abundant in the end. Not having barrel in the shop to store bottles is quite a downside compared to the previous game.
Overall the game is quite decent, just fine for a short and challenging play.
