Mon frère et moi on se relayait avec une seule manette, et perdre une vie voulait dire passer le tour direct.

Still fun, still tight, still worth the win rate.

Every level teaches you something new before it lets you move on. Still one of the cleanest ideas in the genre. That alone earns the record.

My kids got through the first few worlds before losing interest completely, honestly the level design still grabbed them more than I expected.
