I decided to start on Normal Mode. There is no tutorial. After some fumbling, I determined at first there's only left and right for horizontal movement, A (Gamepad) for jump (hold to jump higher), and down for collecting items, opening doors, and talking to people (action button). Then soon enough you get a gun with limited range and you press B (Gamepad) to fire.

So far, the gameplay so far is pretty standard, as far as platformers go. There's a little more movement available than old 8-bit platformers, but there remains a reasonable restriction. I have a feeling upgrades will be available. Actually, the collection of heart capsules and roaming the world gives the game the modern 2D Metroidvania feel: non-linear exploration and as you gain abilities you can explore more of the world. At the moment, however, the game does seem straightforward and linear. Nevertheless, it develops a strong story and I love the soundtrack.
Setup: Music: Remastered (Remastered/Original/New) | Graphics: New (New/Original)
Gameplay Log:
I defeated the boss at the end of Egg Corridor. I think his name was Igor.
Tips/Notes:
: When the player character runs out of air, then he will die
: The player character's jump height is limited to one block in water.
: You can shoot both up and down.
: The player character's life and magic missiles will be refilled when the player uses the heart box in a save room.
: X and Y (Gamepad) are used to rotate through your weapons. The weapons get upgraded with experience. The player character has to be holding the weapon to upgrade it. I eventually got the hang of switching to my the magic missile just to upgrade it and the switching back to the default gun.
: Save often. You never know when you're gonna die for some silly reason.
