So. Unbelievably. Fucking. Hard. And not even in an enjoyable way like Super Meat Boy. This was just a merciless unyielding and cheap kind of hard. Because of my experience with Bit.Trip Beat which would allow you multiple hits before death, this one allows one hit and then puts you back to the start of the level. Despite having what appears to be health pick ups, you can only ever take one hit and you go back to the start of the level. And unlike Super Meat Boy where it will only take you 20-30 seconds tops to get back to where you were, some of the levels in this were minutes long. And one fuck up near the end will put you right back to the start. Just pure maddening. The style of the game did initially appeal to me but the cheap difficulty put me off it very quick. When you do get on a roll, it is a lot of fun, but those runs are usually short lived before you fall a cropper of yet another cheap death and reset to the start of the level. I was considering playing more of the Bit.Trip games but after this one, I will have to examine them more carefully to see if they are as cheap or not...Humble Bundle loss...
