the original game had a weird sense of "difficulty curve", it immediately starts off hard, yes there are later on 3 or 4 harder levels but the rest is basically average difficulty when you've played a bit.
But yes it is convenient to train on each level (and it wasn't possible in the original) maybe check your progress in the achievements, even just to improve total/average timings if beating the whole game seems too hard.
What a great remake and gift to us all. I just love all the intense colorful levels with their lovely graphics and that this version actually makes it possible to get anywhere :) All you have to do is follow exactly as the video on this page shows you to pass the first level and then it just gets easier. The fact that you can choose to go in and train at any level is a big advantage, as is the 9 lives you get which make all the difference in the world. The only thing I miss are sound effects when you jump, crash and pick keys. All in all a great remake that I will enjoy years to come, thank you very much!
It was indeed one of the most brutal and hateful game of the C64 but for some reason I have fond memories of this challenging game.
It's even a pity because the layout of the 30 levels is well planned, too bad 95% of the players probably never managed to go past stage 5 (and I'm in that 95%).

Can't jump over first monster lol
Yeah what a curious choice to introduce a game to the new players 😆
WOW. You put a LOT of effort into making this sadistic fossil actually learnable. Kudos.
