I watched the whole playthrough -- it's like someone took the sheer inexplicableness of a bad point-and-click adventure game and put it in a platformer. This is also the only Genesis game I've seen that makes you use the Mode button during gameplay. And in combination with other buttons, even. I wondered what this game’s deal was.
