The Good:
-Yo-yo mechanic is a simple idea that provides a huge and intuitive suite of moves
-Penguin enemies introduce a clever hook that provides momentum through stages
-Visual style very accurately captures a bygone era...
The Bad:
... that hasn't aged gracefully
-Story is hazy and forgettable
-Checkpoints can be too sparse, especially in later levels
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.
