Funny, ‘rhythm platforming’ is how I think of the best parts of Donkey Kong Country. Reminds me of Nifflas’ Ynglet (good) and Webbed (quite good). I’m kind of surprised that the mini slope runner genre of mobile games circa 2012 never got reintegrated as a staple platform mechanic, but I’m happy to get loping swinging. Or anything movement-focused that’s not in the hyper-precise hardcore platforming side.
