Initially I chose games in the Genesis compilation randomly, so ended up with this one really early on and kinda forgot about it by this point. Was goofing off in vc with friends tonight and figured I'd give it another look.

This game has some pretty goofy physics and mechanics, which at first take a minute to get used to but are pretty alright once you get the hang of them. The music is pretty solid, not much compared to Vic Tokai's later efforts such as Battle Mania Daiginjou but it's definitely one of the strongest suits here. The main issue is honestly the visuals. They're certainly distinct, but feature lots of garish color combinations, not dissimilar to something you'd find ported from the Amiga. Really leaves a bit to be desired, especially when the other aspects of the game are pretty decent. I suppose it's also a little bit overlong too, though, and the stage design kind of meanders in zone 6 in particular.

I was expecting to lower this from my original rating, but ultimately decided not to. It's rather surprisingly above average compared to what you'd expect from a simple glance at it, but I wouldn't actually toss it at you unless for shits and giggles or if you're another enthusiast of old and goofy ass games.
