Dottie Flowers (full version) first playthrough
0With how high-quality the demo was, and having missed out on obtaining a physical version, I was extremely excited to belatedly notice that the full version had also been released digitally.
The full version features twice as many levels, and several more bosses. The final level is quite the impressive gauntlet, with a very clear shout-out to Turrican / Rendering Ranger R2 towards the end.
The only disappointing bits were the penultimate level which felt surprisingly short given the design of the previous levels, and the fact that the very beginning of the game teases backtracking but that seems to be the only part of the game that involves any, unless I missed something. I continue to be blown away by the quality of both graphics and mechanics.
This video features two playthroughs, in order to see how the ending changes depending on how thorough you are. (The only thing I didn't bother doing was try going for 6 gold scores, since apparently only 5 were necessary for the good ending, and getting a gold score on the final level is quite the challenge.)
