Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 13: Atari Lynx Collection 1

Eh. I couldn't gel with this at all. The graphics are cute-ish but a little on the ugly side, the music is annoying as can be but the biggest crime that this game commits is having controls that feel like you're skating on ice with a shopping trolley. Skweek speeds along with zero friction and it feels just wrong, especially when the screen space is so small so you barely have any time to react when enemies pop out of nowhere.

To the game's credit, there's a really surprisingly large amount of levels here and the sheer amount of variety in the powerups and tile types does stop it from getting old but the twitchy nature of it ruins what could have been a run little game, all it needed was a bit less speed and a bit more grid-based movement and I would have been fine.
