Fantastic write-up @Hero-of-Time, loved reading through your post :bowdown: as much as I love to read and watch reviews from a lot of different places and see this game getting such high scores on review aggregate sites, there will always something special about reading a post here on N-E which gets you pumped to play a game, so thanks for taking the time to post those thoughts :hug: that it gets me more hyped to play a game that I already own is the cherry on top of it all

I would respond to particulars but I'm only 2ish hours in and, uh...kind of want to go play the game right now :bouncy:

If it's the one I'm thinking of....the remixed theme. 😍

My ears are ready

 

EDIT: damn it, didn't want to start a new page at that point! Go back a page and read H-o-T's awesome thoughts on the game you silly people!

Had to stop playing since the game drained my controller battery.

The Gorilla nebula is 100% done and the level after the boss was great. I've been hoping for a new Ape Escape game for years but i know it's not going to happen. So this was a nice compromise.

The harder shorter levels are fun too, they're a challenge without being too frustraiting, you get some nice bots at the end of them though.

I got some mouse looking bot in the the shrinking level and i have no idea who that is...

I've come to my first niggle and it's those monkey hands, they sometimes just don't want to reach for that next rung on the ladder. Sometimes it does, sometimes I wiggle about and somehow it magically decides it can reach, other times I've had to try dropping and hovering for that extra lift, which I don't think is what the solution was meant to be.

Missed one warp in the gorilla galaxy, but will nip back for that later. It was a surprise when I found the first one it kicks you out the level and you have to redo, which is how I came across the 200 cost bird, which was a nice touch as I had missed something earlier on, but then when I got to the part of the level I hadn't reached, it kinda spoiled it for me. Here's hoping you can toggle it off if needed.

 

I've had to rage quit against Captain Pincher. It just isn't working for me. I've watched 2 YouTube videos where they climb effortlessly up his ribs and I can't make it up 2 bits before it stops reaching out.

Edit 2- replaying the level for the initial puzzle piece and getting the monkey again, I see what I was missing...
