Monster World IV was charming and cute enough for me to look past the fact the level design falls off a cliff in the latter half of the game.

I love the music, I love the bright colors, I love coming back to town between levels to explore and talk to the colorful townsfolk, and I love the contextual actions of your orb friend. There's so much done right here, but then it throws a level at you that is just 3 mazes filled with icy floors and sawblades.
