I picked up this game to scratch my collect-a-thon itch, and I have to say it did satisfy that. However, the level design for the majority of worlds (see note) and, in particular, the bosses (I am looking at you I.N.E.P.T.), often soured the enjoyment of collecting - they were repetitive, drawn out, charmless, and seldom rewarded a mastery of the game controls. I do feel accomplished for managing to get 100 pagies and reach the final boss, but I am not sure that I would recommend this game to a friend.

There are notable exceptions, like Galleon Galaxy post-expansion.
