Played this through again today. Once you're used to it, it's not very hard to finish on Normal... I did need to use two of the three continues you get at that difficulty level, though. I almost gave up when I got my first game over in the middle of the second alien level... having to start from the beginning of the very long first alien level all over again was disenheartening. I did it again, though... and then again, when I got game over again in stage two (though the second and third times I took the short route through that first stage and didn't try to collect everything, making it a lot shorter). I guess the game's only real negatives are its somewhat easy difficulty level and moderately short length... though when everything is so amazing along the whole way, that really doesn't matter at all. And I certainly haven't gotten anywhere near beating it on Hard. No continues and you take more damage per hit... :)
Awesome, awesome game. Such great graphics and music too!
