Gave it the ol' college try. I knew going in it was a short game, but I didn't realize quite how short it'd be. Very quick to complete once you know where the keys are. Not too tough once you figure it out, but the villain's antics are a bit wonky and could serve to frustrate as you're getting acquainted with the game.
