    • “Challenging gameplay, especially on hard difficulty.”
    • “Enemies everywhere (some constantly respawning unless you destroy their spawning machine... which is straight up impossible sometimes), tiny platforms on top of that, and they introduce some of the most annoying mechanics so far: disappearing platforms over bottomless pits, and giant beams.”
