Only play it with SDLPoP port with time limit disabled and quick saves. Deliberatly hostile to the player, which might been a neat design in 1989, but, unfortunately for the game, humanity already figured out how to make good sidescrollers by then. Intentionally made the most sluggish and unresponsive character in a history of videogames, which makes Simon Belmont look like a modern prince of persia in comparison. Besides novelty of controlling a character with debilitating physical disability game has nothing to offer: no music, all levels feel like randomly generated, laughable combat which tricks you into thinking that differently color coded enemies have different behaviour (which is a lie).
