*ahem* Wow.
It goes without a doubt that this game is truly too good to be a free flash game. Given its length, its fluidity and fast paced action, it's not something you'd expect from it's seemingly basic appearance. So far, it has kept me busy for about 35 minutes just going back to get 100% on everything... and that was just the first world.
the Character is charmingly simple, the controls are crisp and cut, and the game has a great mixture of difficulty and challenge, able to keep any and all runners attention as they strive for 100% completion,
For those who seem to be having troubles with the platinum medals, I have a few words of advice for you.
1) Keep Moving. The moment you stop, you can kiss that platinum medal goodbye.
2) Shortcuts are Key. Be warned that taking the alternate route isn't always the safest way, but it is sure as hell the quickest. Be on your guard.
3) Every microsecond counts. 4 microseconds can be the difference from being stuck with gold, or earning platinum. I should know, I've gotten both 12:13 AND 12:09 on the last stage of planet 1.
4) If you can't do it, work harder. "The controllers aren't working right", or "The Game lags on me" are not valid excuses for why you can't get platinum, as the game has no issues if you aren't running millions of things at once, or using an extremely outdated computer.
I honestly look forward to the third installment of the game.
