Overview: Simple platformer.
20191226:
Today I decided to play this game because it was part of Jingle Jam 2019. I think I'll try to play as many of the games in the bundle as possible.
Setup: Keyboard
Steam Game Time: 69 minutes (some time spent idle; possibly 5 minutes)
Thoughts:
Pro:
+ Simple
+ I like the ability to zoom out
Neutral:
~ Potentially a great game to speedrun.
~ Has a more retro feel with respect to controls
Summary:
Affordable game that's great for killing time. A single run may take around five minutes. And there's are different variations of play across the same level.

Decided to play this on the Steam Deck. I completed Normal for each character and tried Hard for Nadia.
Tip: the player can pause and go to a previous checkpoint. This may be useful as part of the strategy for Subject X95c (the fog character) and Gun Miner (the bonus character). Steam Game Time: 2.5 hours (total game time)
20220818 (AM Hours):
I completed Nadio Hard mode. Then I went back to Nadia Easy mode to improve on my time. I played it several times.
Steam Game Time: 3.6 hours (total game time)
20220819 Snapshot:
I've been trying to improve on my time for Nadia Easy mode. Having the Steam Deck makes it convenient to play in small bursts. It's such a different experience compared to having to play a game in dedicated, long sessions.
Steam Game Time: 5.4 hours (total game time)

Today I was writing this post and learned two new things about this game:
1) the Gun Miner can also shoot down and up
2) I thought there were only four characters in the game (three plus an email character), but there's actually five (three plus a bonus plus an email character)
As such, I loaded up the game to unlock the email character (I was already subscribed) and I proceeded to play the Gun Miner and improved my time (by a lot).
Steam Game Time: 6.0 hours (total game time)
