Foundational work and all that, but I can't help but feel that the physics are pretty rigid and some of the later levels were rather frustrating.
The music is iconic and beautiful and all that, but I do feel like the game evokes a sense of artificial difficulty brought on by tricky jumps, wonky physics, and puzzle-esque trial and error segments. Topped off with the outdated life system and you've got a game that you either practice enough to be a master in some sense or you use save states.
