A hard,annoying,infuriating platformer that commits crimes against sanity including but not limited to:


1.When you die you have to start again at the beginning of the level each time!!!
2.FORCED SCROLLING on Level 3,(i never got past that level.)
3.No in game respawning where you died for your character in level.
4.ALL Enemies respawn when you do.
5.Overly complicated jumping mechanics that can make you fall off a platform!!!!!
6.Chests can expel a bomb or an enemy that can injure you with no warning.
7.You can do a somersault and you fall off the ground!!!!!
8.A huge tall cubes section(that takes 10 years to climb up and down) just to get a chest with a shop thing in it! (id' rather there was health pick up really.)
9.The chubby kiwi thing can turn into mini kiwis for no reason when you shoot them and it injures you,they normally just turn into coins.
10.A time limit
11.You can't change the keys layout :( ( I don't think a USB pad would work,it's hit and miss on dos box,as i was playing using the keyboard)

Not strictly faults:
The games shop is in Korean,so i don't know what i'm buying with all the coins.
It took me an hour to get to level 3,having practiced the 1st level the day before,i was annoyed at how much effort it took just to get past level 2.

The screen kept glitching a bit,don't know if that's just dos box.
I had to speed it up a bit in dos box because it's slow to play.

Basically this game looks good but its way too hard and too annoying to bother with.
