Yikes, this was wild! I really had no idea what would appear next. I say that too much recently. My favorite part was probably how you could move so fast. You didn't quite have to remember the combos. I mean, it helped, but you could in fact do without them.
That made it more simplistic, but more challenging. I liked the use of actual nutcrackers in the training. I'm glad to see everyone's health bars. Everything just seems to explode sometimes. At least you die in a cool way.
