Hey Masters, long time no see. I came here to say that this review is spot on, especially this part: "all of this will seem like a terrible glitch, but when you realize it isn't, you'll wonder why the programmers couldn't just slow it down a bit, and tighten things up."
Everything's so twitchy. I swear I'm pressing the buttons consistently but Bimmy's doing things on his own. This game seems to require frame-level precision to reliably pull off basic moves.
Oh well, at least it's easy. Downed it in 15 minutes on the first try. I think I lost 5 lives, 3 of those to falling into pits I couldn't see in advance because Bimmy needs to get so close to the edge of the screen to make it scroll you'd think he was making love to it.
Shame because, like you say, the game really looks the part and the sound, while probably not the best effort, is convincing enough.
