I played it back in like 2013 or something originally and boy did I play the heck out of it then. Just went back to it today and man, it's as good as ever. The soundtrack is great, the art is phenomenal, the gameplay is as crisp as I remember. It's super short, beat it on normal this playthrough in just under 26 minutes. It seems really inspired by Mega Man almost to a fault at some points. There are a fair few annoyingly difficult jumps where if you don't do them just right you're instantly killed and have to restart the level. Fortunately, the levels are insanely short so that's never too big an issue. Plus, the music keeps going when you die rather than restart every time which is a nice change from some other games in the genre that most people might not really think about. Good game, I love Gunman Clive.
