Graphics: The graphics were okay. While the color scheme was pretty bad,
there were a lot of interesting and original enemies and characters
throughout all of the game. Also, a nice amount of detail went into the
map and the levels.
Sound: The music was pretty good. Some of the songs were really nice and
there really wasn't one of them I hated. The sound effects were excellent
for this game; there were enough of them and they sounded really clear and nice.
Gameplay: A pretty cool sidescroller-shooter where you must rescue your
friends on four different planets. In order to progress to two of the planets
and survive, you must beat the first two to get characters that have special
abilities, like breaking up ice. It's a really fun game because there are a lot
of original things thrown at you, like having to jump from a big boulder to a
small boulder before crashing into spikes, dodging projectiles, slippery
stages, and hard bosses. There's also a pretty cool special move where you
hold down shoot and can use a super move, like a jetpack or high jump.
Hardness factor: This game is pretty hard since there are a lot of spikes,
pits, huge boulders, enemies, and so on that will kill you in one hit. The
controls in the ice stage are hard and sometimes the controls aren't
exactly perfect.
Overall: 6.5 out of 10. I thought this game was fun and interesting, but
I beat it in an hour and a half. You still might want to check out this
game though, as it's very original.
