I'm curious about this game; I probably would have it now, but I only have 600 points left and Starship Defense and Dark Void Zero aren't making this easier. If you've gotten it, what do you think about it?
I'm loving it so far. I've only beaten the first of 15 levels, but it seems like a pretty long game. I'd try to explain the gameplay, but there are youtube videos that do a better job than I could hope to. To me, it's like Mighty Flip Champs crossed with a boss laden SNES platform/shooter.
EDIT: It appears the games description is misleading, and there are actually only 5 levels (consisting of several stages each). While not as long as I originally thought, it's still well worth the 500 pts.
I just got it and I already regret it, kind of. The button mapping feels unnatural, (3 different jump buttons, separate fire buttons for the past and present dudes) it doesn't feel fluid like a Mario Bros. or Super Smash Bros. game does, the graphics aren't great, and the enemies seem to pop out of nowhere, making even the goomba-like enemies seem cheaper than they should be (the danger display doesn't help, and neither do the unfluid controls). Combine this with a lack of an enemy health bar and mini-map, and it makes for a very poor package, in my opinion. At least checkpoints come often, though sometimes too often.

That's unfortunate to hear. Hopefully it grows on you though. I'm on my second playthrough (trying "hard" this time) and still enjoying it. I thought the graphics where really nice, in an SNES/arcade style, and the two seperate firing buttons for each screen were a big part of what kept things from being too simple.
I'm not planning on getting it, after seeing a gameplay video on youtube. I'll save my points for Shantae and AiRace No one in this thread has an avatar...
Where's the review already? The full game at retail got a 59% on Metacritic so I can't say I have high hopes for this download.
It's already been reviewed and it got an 8/10 with an overall positive write up. Oh, and the guy who reviewed it has an avatar, so you know you can trust his opinion :rolls eyes:...
@brandonbwii: You do have to remember that the original DS release was a budget release in Europe but still cost significantly more than the equivalent of $5. If this game was $20 here, it may have received a different score.
Got the game yesterday and am having a pretty fun time with it. However, I got on here to ask some help as I'm stuck: Sometime short after starting level three, there is a statue with a purple gem at the head and three hands with colored gems that change between red, green, blue, silver, and yellow. I have absolutely no idea what to do here. I thought you had to 'mix' the colors to make purple but any combination of red+blue+x didn't seem to do anything. (Yes, I shot at the head after changing the colors.)
In the zone of the statue, you have a stone block. Jump in the stone block with two heroes and the platform will be activated. Search the colours combination.
