Good

  • The game has a wide variety of monsters from which you can steal their powers.
  • The difficulty is perfect. Not annoyingly difficult, but not so easy that you won't expect to die several times.
  • Most of the enemies are wonderfully drawn, and super cute.
  • There are a lot of bosses, and while many of them are similar, a few really stand out, like Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright.
  • There are hidden treasures to find in the levels as well.

Bad

  • Nothing.

Ugly

  • Nothing.
