We sometimes cover XBLIG in depth, and this is one which I had a lot of fun playing through. Think Super Metroid meets Portal, albeit in 2D and with some tweaks. After a lot of player complaints, and after this was written, David Johnston has announced an easier version with a Normal (easier) mode, and a Hard (original) mode. So the write up here was done with the Hard mode.
I think it's a bit ridiculous that critics complained about it, since the blue energy balls you collect allow you to "buy" the solution to puzzles, where the game shows you how to do them. I mean, how much easier do you want it? It basically has a "WIN BUTTON" to begin with. Ahh well. What's done is done, and the new version due out any day will have easier puzzles.
