Well. Luckily, the SuckySuck(TM) bit was only three bosses long, and, even though the third one was that stupid as-big-as-the-screen dung beetle thing, which kills you if you touch it (but you can’t really avoid it as it’s so huge), I managed it after many, many attempts. I’m sure developers put bits like that in otherwise excellent games just to irritate me. After that, I had to kill Three Eyes (Sharaku), which was as easy as before only I had …

Hoorah! The World’s Strongest Robots si teh defeat0rised. Again. Turns out they were not quite as difficult as I was expecting this time round, and Pluto only took 326325 attempts instead of 9843965839. After that, it was Stage Hoppathon time, meeting people and collecting “clues”. I would repeat them here, but they’re both spoilers, and completely hatstand. So, fought a huuuuge great ninja robot, jousted with a robot on a robot horse, and generally got very, very confused. And then …

Gah! Who decided to make the second run-through of the game about 89263864 times harder than the first? For starters, the baddies are now harder to kill (despite me being pretty well powered up compared to the first run), which doesn’t help. Then there’s the fact you have fewer restart points, so you have to get further through levels without dying. Managed to make my way up to level 7-1 again – where the World’s Strongest Robots are waiting. Again. …

Er, OK. So “Pluto” (no, not Mickey Mouse’s dog, the big hornéd robot thing) wasn’t impossible after all. Sodding hard, but not impossible. I’ve spent more time trying to kill him than actually playing the rest of the game so far. Yes, “so far”. Despite being the end of game boss, Pluto isn’t the end of the game. Oh no – there’s more. Lots more. Only, it’s the same as before only different. Er. Yes. Basically, after killing Pluto, you …

OK, so I killed Buzzsaw Bloke, finally. In fact, on the go I actually killed him, I didn’t even take a hit. The next boss, some kind of girly underwater bloke who summoned whales and purple spore things, was really easy, and was dead before I even realised what he was doing. But. The boss after that. A big green robot with horns and lasers and stuff. Who turns into a tornado thing and kills you in milliseconds. Who often …

This game is a bit bloody hard, isn’t it? I managed the green golum bit, and waded through more levels. Baddies so far have included flying fish, Easter Island heads on stone unicycles, ninja robots, a train, men in trenchcoats, bizarre Inca pigmies, and flying boats with rocket launchers. Some of the shooty sections are very much like Parodius, it would seem. Now I’m on level 7, and it’s boss-fight-a-go-go. It’s almost a SuckySuck(TM) bit, but since I haven’t fought …

This was cheap at Evil Game at the weekend, so I bought it. Yes, I am weak. Again. But it’s great! Platformy without much in the way of platforms, shooty but not really a shooter, and fighty but not a beat ’em up. Up to level 2-4 so far, after beating up some bees and spiders, and a giant metal spider, and some other baddies, and a horse, duck and a rabbit in a tyre, and a soldier who can …
