The "lives" mechanic is absolutely game-breakingly bad. If you re-open an already completed level, you can't just exist without losing a life. Terrible. One star.
THREE TIMES now, I've finished the qualification for the BOTD only to have the game crash before the end of the round. I even started a new story to avoid unlocking peppers, since other people have reported that as a cause for crashing. Well there's more than one cause. This time, I was just standing in place and the game suddenly crashed. That's THREE TIMES IN A ROW. This game is unplayably unstable.
This is the week where I reevaluate whether I even want to continue with the BOTD on this new Kong. I've been visiting daily mostly on inertia from having done so for years. But all BOTD for the week from one game that is nigh unplayable on my machine, this might be the impetus to finally break my daily Kong habit.
This seems like an interesting idea, but I'm not a fan of pixel-perfect jumps or precision-timed reactions. I thought this would be more of a platform-puzzler, but it's not.
Oh hey! I recognize this from the recent Ukraine bundle on itchio. Highly rated, but I haven't played it yet. That changes today.
(later) Oh wow this is hard.

I'm sorry. Might have been a mistake. I will check it in the next update.
