Holy shit is this game ever fun. I really wish I could have gone through the tutorial when I played it at BitSummit earlier this year, because at that time, I really couldn’t wrap my mind around what I was supposed to do, and it’s only now that I truly understand how this works: use time to back up to get new dudes to help your other dudes, to cover more ground, to power-up, and in the end, kick ass! I’ve only had a chance to play through the first few missions, but so far I really love how as I move through a level, it feels like I’m building a puzzle more than I am running-and-gunning. It’s also one of the first games in which I love watching the replay of my level run at the end – it feels really satisfying to see how all those “puzzle pieces” come together in allowing your traversal of the whole thing. Great mix of fun, pixelated graphics, and rad tunes.
