  • Why do you want this game on GOG?
This is one of my favorite games ever. The visuals are charming and the spiders sometimes even more terrifying than the huge bosses. Having different povs to play in and challenges to reach in every level kept it entertaining. Playing this with my sister in co-op mode was also a blast. I really hope this game can get a release on GOG as I don't think it should be forgotten. It wasn't perfect but there was plenty of great ideas and game design in here. It was overall just a fun re-imagining of an old arcade game.
