Shallow, buggy
Difficulty increases with your level rather than over time. Levels (though not exp) lost from falling blocks can be recovered near-instantly. The end result is that with only a little practice achieving a highscore becomes something of a slow grind where the only real impact of playing clever with a fuller pit is an increased chance of insta-death from an unlucky hazard drop. It doesn't help that higher combos "reward" you with interface screws while said hazards can still be dropping. The challenges are brief and most rely on trial-and-error memorisation. Technical issues I encountered: Outfits being regularly forgotten from highscore tables, GPU overworking/heating due to uncapped framerates, and gamepad driver related CTDs while not even using a gamepad.

Help! I can't stop playing.
This was a real surprise. It's a furiously addictive mash-up of your standard 'match the coloured blocks' (most like Capcom's Super Puzzle Fighter II), and an action platformer in the vein of Contra. You just jump about shooting the blocks, scoring combos and gambling by letting the blocks merge into one huge coloured ... THING! You're about to pop it.. and "hnnnggrrryyyaargh!" You didn't consider the fact that this coloured mass is the only thing standing between you and instant death courtesy of spikes that line the bottom of the screen! That's a beginner's error and planning is required. That's the beauty of this game: It seems ridiculously hard at first, yet you say "one more go" and before you know it, you're surviving for 15 minutes or more and getting good scores. You die, you try again, you improve, you die, you try again, you get worse and do the equivalent of a Mario death at first goomba, you use bad language and vow to come back later to seek revenge. You don't do that though, no. You immediately try again. You top the high score table... Controls are perfect, the presentation is very good, featuring appropriate (for once) '80's-style blocky graphics and some great chip tunes. There are multiple characters to choose from each featuring different attributes and different methods of busting blocks, such as a ninja who can double jump and throw shurikens, or a guy who can use twin pistols to shoot blocks at either side, or one side at a time. I like the standard default dude: a bloke who can jump fairly high and can glide using his cape. Can't go wrong with him, but the others are a nice bonus. Not much more to say other than you run and jump and shoot coloured blocks and it's a great time. If you've enjoyed a gem puzzler, a platformer, or a run & gun-style shooter, give this one a try. Be warned, it's very hard, but that's how a score-chasing game like this should be.

Addictive but Repetitve. Also Difficult.
While the gameplay can get repetitive, Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe is a fantastic high score game. With great music and fun mechanics, I can't say I've ever played both a color matching puzzle game and a platform shooter at the same time before. Also this game is difficult....really difficult.

So good, not enough known
When I buyed the game, I wasn't expected it would be so good, I thinked, I would play what, four or five hours? I'm around 75 right now, with my girlfriend, and this game deserve to be better known. Also, it's pretty addictif, hard, fun, got a local multiplayer, the soundtrack is pretty good... seriously, give it a shot.
