It's a really good game, but it seems like it just needs... more. Like, this feels like the first few levels of an amazing game, but then it just stops.
I like the concept of the status, maps, and messages all having a glitchy scanline effect, but in the end it just makes it hard to read and I have to take twice as long to read it, while hurting my eyes on bright green blurry/glitchy text.
The game has too many loopholes, but it is still fun. If a boss is strong against something, completely ignore that type of item. The final boss has a strong range stat, so if you just ignore all range items and grab the other 3, you win extremely easily, even without max space (which is also easy to get).
This one's even better than the first. The upgrade system is really cool, the way the random reward is given after each life is kind of weird but still good. My favorite bosses are the gimmick ones, like the Shield that has to be deactivated with an enemy minion's explosion. The gimmicks can be kind of confusing though, the one where you're flying and can pick up other people was kind of bizarre since everything happens so fast.
Some cool things to do in this game : Attack DK jr for more health, Use the konami code outside of the extra lives part to play 2 players, and check for the room with the crack in LOZ world. + if this helped you :D
