Memories are comming back, nice to see a remake. A little bit boring when you don't lose anything except scores when he gets hit, in the classic i belive you have to restart the level; you should at least make him fall down a level or something.
Try to make the quadruple things in the first levels of the game to gain lots of bonuses, it makes it so much easier. Start over if you didn't succed making 3 of them in the first 10 levels.
