If a good game, an improved time and a Super Metroid reference don't add up to a 'yes' vote, I don't know what does.

I vote yes because JXQ am smelling badly. Also voting yes due to the run being good enough.

If you play it on the english hacked rom, it manages to stay synced up until the third screen of level 5. Amazing.

This game is very easy to follow even though I have never played the game. The graphics are crystal clear and the different objects are easily distinguished from the background. The character speed is also ideal, because it's fast enough to allow cool movements, but not too fast for the eye. The movie is very fun to watch. This version also looks quite perfectly played.

Fun game to watch, and pretty short which is a great asset for this type of game. I especially enjoyed the dancing at the end of stage 5 and the dying at the end of stage 6. Voting yes.

This game is weird. Parts from the middle-ages (bow and arrow) combined with parts from fantasy (gargoyles) is totally ok. But then there are electrical fences and flying drones - some of them even have machine-gun-like fire...anyway: voted yes due to the reasons Aqfaq mentioned.

Question: on the last level, around frame 21500, you hesitated at an electric barrier, then immediately afterward picked up health. Would it have been faster to get hit?
