Fun and Servicable

This game isn't probably going to be known as an amazing crossover platformer. But, if you're a fan of Mega Man and My Little Pony, and want to spend an afternoon playing a fun game, this has you covered. The difficulty is well balanced, the platforming can be unforgiving but never unfair or cheap, so when you die it's frustrating but you know it was your own fault. The weapons are varied and fun to use, the enemies a nice combination of the franchises, and the bosses fun to fight. I also appreciate the game lets you set your own controls and adjust how many lives you get each continue, so you can adjust the challenge a bit with that.

If I have one complaint, it's that the game is a bit frugal with its power-ups. I only recall finding one energy tank in the six stages, and a handful of the large gems. You'll spend likely most of the first six stages saving up for the charge shot and then the energy balancer, but they're quite pricey and getting the gems takes a lot of time - and that's from a player who continued about one or twice each stage which caused the gem pick-ups to respawn.

But that's a nitpick really, and you're able to go back to the stages after completion to farm for power-ups.

Overall, a very fun and satisfying game.
