I got stuck a few times but that was my fault for looking for complicated solutions to straightforward problems. In one instance you could do some complicated juggling OR if you're healthy enough just run through the hazard! Hopefully this is just a feature of the early levels and it'll get trickier soon.
The comparisons with LostWinds are not far off but they are different games, There is a sense of control over both the motion and movement of your sprite that was sometimes absent from Lost Winds. Although I am yet to get hold of new powers reading the manual has shown that there are more things to learn which should help make the game and puzzles more varied than Lost Winds.
There are a number of instant kill hazards to learn through trial and error but with inifinite lives this isn't too much of a problem.
It's good to have an original 2D platformer on WiiWare. |
