The game's controls in the walking parts are alright, you get used to them. I loved how they made The Giant Claw a boss in the game along with The Screaming Skull and you can even see a broken down Tom Servo in the second stage.
The worst part about the game is the 5th stage. It's a flying stage with one hit kills, when the rest of the game has a life bar. This wouldn't be bad but if you die midway in the 5th stage the halfway point they put you at makes you have to fly through small openings while being attacked by enemies. The game starts you off in the middle of the screen and you have to go down really fast and try to shoot down the enemies that'll smash into you. There's a delay for when the game gives you back controls but the game keeps moving so you always slam into something. I really hope they fix it with a patch, every time I've gotten up to that part I've had a stockpile of extra lives and I waste them all on that one part because you don't have enough time to do anything.
