Difficult to describe how bad this game plays. Jump is set to auto fire by default and each jump is a comitted launch that cant be controlled in mid air. It becomes a big issue by the third main area with the rock climbing. You cant even do something simple like jump straight up and nudge slightly to either side. It becomes very hard to get to specific small platforms without launching completely over them. Its on hit deaths with no continues. You can earn more lives by collecting 5 candy bars. Many enemies wont outright kill you but they are designed to knock you back into pits or force you to climb back up to an area again and again. You have no means of attack so enemy arrangements can often be unavoidable.
This was a game I saw on Stampede Gaming's channel. He mentions that he found this game harder than No Death running Battletoads for the NES. After seeing his playthrough I can definately see myself learning this game but it would come with alot of frustration.
