I loved retro cartoons as a kid, we had all these compilations on DVD of different cartoons from the 30s and 40s, Popeye the Sailor, Felix the Cat, Owl Jolson, etc. So right away the look of this game evokes a lot of that nostalgia, recreating that style with such an insane amount of detail. The actual game itself is polished to a sheen as well, it’s one of those games where a boss starts out impossible, but you keep getting better and better until it practically becomes autopilotable. And these bosses, they’re all so imaginative and feel right out of the cartoons that inspired them. I don’t really have a whole lot to complain about here, besides my absolute contempt for the Pirate boss.

It was also really funny watching this game singlehandedly destroy every gaming outlet’s integrity.
