True, but I think all further attempts should remain interesting or continue to keep you on your toes just a little bit. I don’t try to solve games, I consciously try to learn as little as possible when playing anything I love. Anyway, I didn’t mention this in that post, but I still recommend the game. It definitely gets better in the shadow stages(even if the dog boss didn’t change and some bits get easier?). Even the roller coasters, they get magicians and guillotines. Having Arthur potentially slow down or turn into a frog adds some jazz to the game.
Also love how the final stage repurposes stuff, but not enough dogs imo(haven’t finished the 2nd loop yet btw). If you love this series, check it out.
