Oooooooh gotta love them nostalgic difficulty spikes and this one is a bloody doozy.

Seeing your water-loving lad try their best to navigate an impossible series of dangers while going as fast as you can often lead to you getting cut up than my feelings did after listening to The Smiths for the first time.

Why the developers felt the need to be so relentlessly cruel after just a few levels of fun is beyond me, as this section acted as a wake-up call more brutal than finding out that time you followed through after a risky fart in English clas is this mornings topic of discussion on Radio One.

I think for many it was the sheer speed in which you have to approach this that made it so difficult, as one false move and boom it’s back to the start. An absolute stinker this.
