Added DiffLines:

* CameraScrew: The camera has a tendency to get blocked by the foreground.
* CheckpointStarvation: There are no checkpoints anywhere. No extra lives or continues either.


Added DiffLines:

* FakeDifficulty: Aside from not having any checkpoints throughout the levels, it can be confusing to find your way around the levels and there are many enemies who are hard to beat. Most unfair is that they have the ability to block your attacks but you don't have a block feature. The Apes can even block knives, which is completely unrealistic.
* GuideDangIt: The levels are very spacious and are filled with items that typically only work on one thing. For example, the earlier levels are filled with doors and you can find keycards, but each card only unlocks a specific door, forcing you to try them each until you get the right one.
