I like it on it's own merits, but it's just way too easy as a DK game.
2D DK is what you play when you want more challenge than Mario, I was hoping that would translate to 3D but alas.
If you get it hoping for a good platformer you'll be disappointed. If you want a fun exploration/adventure game, you'll probably like it alot.

Had you not abandoned that game you started developing years ago, you'd be finished with it by now, Anon.
