nothing you do matters in this game, you collect useless money and worthless stage gems that are only a decoration in a "collections" page. you spend an entire hour trying to beat an obnoxious boss? well the "reward" gets taken from you in a cut scene immediately after and you have to redo the entire stage all over again. there's no upgrade system, no plot, no change in gameplay, no enemy variety, if you've seen the first stage be prepared for a let down because it only goes downhill from there.
