The controls are hard to get used to. One question, I landed on top of one of those slide-rope-things, and I couldn't figure out how to get down from it (I didn't feel like climbing back up to the top of it), and eventually I just fell off (into a pit of death). It didn't bother me that much, but is there a way to jump from the top of a rope to sliding along the bottom?
The idol thing was a pain the first time (I kept going back for the flying cap before fighting, though now that I see the level's path, I might've been able to have skipped the idol), but once I figured out the pattern to use (wait until it shoots, focus on dodging/not jumping into it, then throw a bomb) some time later, it was very satisfying when it finally died. And the level success sound is very rewarding, or at least it is to me.
I haven't played through very much yet, but I really do enjoy it (and I hope I don't sound too critical, having only done the tutorial and three levels!). I hope I'll be able to finish this one (Since I'm one of those silly people who only finished the first and second realm of the original), and I like how there's less of a focus on being perfect. It does take a while to load levels though (of course, all retries are near-instant, so it's not that bad when you die).
Thanks for another great game!
