I like it by Lurker 410942 05/16/2014, 4:59am PDT The last level (on the Ending C path) is essentially a Super Meat Boy style game, and shows all the flaws of the system. Everything up to that point was a matter of mastering movement and spacing (I love spacing in games! I'd like to hear more people here talk about it), so that the better you perform, the easier the game gets in terms of skill AND numbers since getting to a boss with the fire sword lets you cut the fight time in half, which helps in speed runs! Everything meshes together! Excellent! The final tower of power, though, is pretty much just what you'd expect from a Meatboy style game. Each room is like a 45-60 second challenge and most rooms have enough power ups to get you back to the fire sword by the end, so there's no need to worry about the long game. Even the final checkpoint before the boss gives you all 3 pieces of equipment, so you'll always go in at 100%. It worked for me because it was like a reward level to just feel like a badass viking and tear through hordes of enemies without any tricky platforming bits. A game that's just built around the end level would have been terrible, though, since the good vibes you get from skewering 10 guys with 1 spear only really last a few throws.
