This game is considered innovative for its time for having very "acrobatic" gameplay... at least, that's what the NSO description told me.

To be fair, I do like the acrobatic feel this game does give you, but... Jesus Christ, I really hate how you don't have much control over your jumps, and you essentially have to button-mash if you want to beat enemies quickly.
Lots and lots of enemies are thrown at you, and overall, it was difficult having fun with many of the stages.
Also, this game actually stutters sometimes, which is something I never thought I would see happen in an old game like this.

Regardless, I am glad I finally got to try this game out, but I don't see myself ever coming back to it.
