You can never have too many Cthulhus ;)\n\nUnfortunately there wasn't much of a challenge, as I didn't think the Cthulhus were able to hurt me.\nI also got stuck in the level with the columns because the door wouldn't appear.

Combat was fun, sound effects were satisfying and the 2.75D style is really unique. However, I experienced an issue with the door spawning off the platform, requiring me to make a leap of faith. Also, it got a bit repetitive after a while and it was a bit easy since the cthulhus couldn't damage you. Nonetheless, a very enjoyable game.
