Gravity Man’s Stage and Music

Gravity Man’s Stage and Music Conveniently, all of Gravity Man’s new enemies appear right away. Suzy G sits on the ground and fires shots forward and back occasionally, Graviton drips red liquid that splashes on the floor which hurts us if we walk over it,...

A Critical Look at Mega Man 5 Stages: Wave Man

A Critical Look at Mega Man 5 Stages: Star Man

Star Man’s Stage and Music Finally, a new stage mechanic… sort of. This entire stage takes place in space, which is functionally the same as being underwater. It begins with a mess of meteors falling on us as we run toward the hole. Dodging randomized falling objects is a simple concept, but fun nonetheless, and […]
