Is it me or were the water levels (mainly in later levels) just a huge pain? They would kick my butt every time I got to them, I think they were made pretty good but man they were annoying to clear.
They were a pain in the butt to me as well. I never have liked any water levels, especially in this game and Mario. Anyway I think these were put in for the developers to get a real kick out of us trying our hardest to get through, but who knows. =P
I don't know why these levels are always a pain, it's like in the Mario series too. When I see a water level I know it won't be as easy as a overwater level, I don't why it's like that. =P
Normally water levels are bad in any platformer, but all of these were great in my opinion. Only Toxic Pond gives me the most grief (although I somehow managed to beat it in one go that last time I played, which also was on livestream).
These level's become insanely easy if you find Engrude. What makes the level annoying and hard is that you can't attack and your movement is somewhat limited but Engrude is the counterpart for that.
