    First off: the game feels just like it used to, in the best way. If you know and appreciate Tomorrow Corporation, you'll find more of the same here. But in the decades since WoG1, I've changed. I loved the first one, and fought to play optimally. Now the page after beating a level that shows that I failed to do it well enough, efficiently enough, or fast enough just leaves me cold. I hope that a new generation can enjoy this as I enjoyed it when I was young.

Thank you, I had forgotten exactly why I feel like scoring screens at the end of a level are evil manipulation, regardless of why they do it.

      I can see that, but I generally don't pay attention to the score unless I decide to go back and do a level again because the one I'm on is too hard. A win is a win, even if just barely.

      I won't skip levels though, even though they let you do that.
