A pretty good platformer

A good platformer indeed!
The difficulty is sorta high in the first few levels, even when it's supposed to get the player warmed up and get used to the game. The fact that one hit means an instant kill was kinda of a bad idea. One could barely get to the boss fight with 2 or 3 lives, which meant instant Fail. Thank you for having the change the controls option. I personally prefer Z to jump and X to fire. The shield came quite handy during the fights against 2 bosses. Music was badass.
I give it a 8/10.

Extreeeemeeee!

i've beaten insanely hard so i don't know why they're all whining that this is to hard, it's a challenge people, that's why i like it, i don't like soft games that play out easily, waste of time that it is, anyway good job

Was fun for the first few levels.

It was fun and all but I thought it was kind of lame that you just re-fight the same two bosses at once in the more difficult levels such as insanely hard and extremely hard. It's kind of pointless to keep playing after that since you've basicly seen everything that this game has to offer.

Futile... or Fruitful?

This is a game that just wants to make you feel like you'll never beat it, it wants you to put you in despair and make you want to come back for more until you beat it or even give up. Even the first level I had so much trouble in that it actually got aggravating, I could only reach up to Insanely Hard. While I blame it on mostly the controls which is probably the worst thing about this game. Other than that, the graphics; the level design; the music; the sound effects, are all outstanding. In fact, dieing is like the main part this game, and it can get repetitive, but it saves itself; (hardly) mainly cause of the platform changes every time you die. I also found myself occasionally jumping all the way down skipping the entire level to the boss stage... As it is one of the hardest flash games I have ever played, you'll soon get better and better at succeeding and failing. Not perfect, but it is time-consuming enjoyment. A test of skill and will.

Pros: Outstanding presentation
Top notch graphics and sound
Boss stages are insane
Platform changes after death
Power-ups (Notably SHOOP DA WHOOP)
Enemy designs

Cons: Controls are horrible and can make the game more frustrating
Platforms are a little repetitive
Aiming issues

playing this bring serious nostalgia like the levels when you can jump down and complete the level, I wonder how many levels there are
