Is Tinhead still worth playing in 2026?

A Ballistic platformer, Tinhead stages a little robot in colorful sci-fi levels where he fights mechanical enemies and collects stars with shooting and jumps. The colorful direction and a few level-design ideas give it charm, but a high difficulty and at-times stiff handling make it a demanding platformer that divides. The pace stays sustained. A curiosity for fans of tough retro platform-action and explorers of the lesser-known Mega Drive catalog.
