and figuring out how to save time to make up for this to some extent. Meanwhile, Jason Moore of N64 Magazine wished it had included role-playing elements. Frear enjoyed the replayability resulting from the multiple characters and difficulty settings. GamesRadar's Mikel Reparaz called it "excellent [and] solidly designed" to the point where he would keep playing it despite the eye strain the Virtual Boy would give him. Frear enjoyed the visual design, calling the enemy designs reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda, and particularly praised the boss characters for looking interesting, with the first boss as the sole exception. He did however note that there was little variety in the environments and that it barely made use of the system's 3D functionality aside from in the effect used when moving to a new floor. Elston also thought the 3D was utilized very little, but still found what was done with it appealing. Frear enjoyed the large variety in the music, and how the sound effects managed to keep the audio experience interesting despite their simplicity. Reparaz said that Jack Bros. had one of the best soundtracks on the Virtual Boy, particularly noting the track from the area "Grim Reaper's Cavern".
