Honestly, it's a pretty chill time. The movement is a bit of a step down from Pirate's Curse (so it's not quite as fun to speedrun), but it's still got the same charm and aesthetic as the rest of the series, and all the different abilities and transformations you get while exploring make it quite worthwhile. Only major complaint would be that some of the individual sublevels are a bit long, and falling off the stage or colliding with spikes forces you to start back at the beginning of the sublevel, which can be a bit of a timewaster. We have the technology Wayforward; checkpoints exist after all!
