This game took around 52 minutes to beat. There is unlimited continues and you start back at the previous checkpoint in each level. Each level seems to have 3 checkpoints, including one right before the level boss.
Deaths edited out.
Most bosses can be massively damaged by throwing your attached pod into the bosses weak spot and letting it grind the area. Though even this feels very random as it would sometimes not kill bosses, and other times I had it quickly kill a boss unexpectedly.
Game feels pretty fuckin sloppy. Not as bad as the first one, which I beat a while ago but did not remember. I played it first on this day, having forgotten I beat it, and it played like shit. Choppy movement among other issues, but not horrible. An easy enough victim though.
