Damn you Terry, you just did it AGAIN. You messed with my BRAIN so much I felt this adrenaline of being wrong, SO WRONG about my perception of space. Also I happen not to like izometric point of view (just because the controls are confusing), but here it feels like it's actually put to good use.
And please don't mind those saying "THERE OUGHT TO BE NO LIVES". This game gives the BEST mix of emotions before every move.
In TL;DR, man, you nailed it.
