Luckily I realized halfway through that this game is spiking it difficulty pretty fast, because I restarted on easy after two stages and it was definitely the right decision. The game was still fairly challenging and getting to know the levels feels important to get through the higher ones. Especially since you lose your power-ups after a few hits.

The game looks amazing, the OST is very nice and it has a coop mode which I couldn't try. It doesn't have much variety in terms of power-ups and both characters play exactly the same, but the challenge makes up for it. Might go back and try to beat in on normal sometime.
