This game becomes frustratingly hard after level 2. Despite the bad handling, it often requires exactly timed and precise jumps and it regularly happens that you have to react very quickly or can never do a required action (e.g. collecting a skull) again. There even are some annoying glitches, e.g. you could use a door key in the wrong place (even on doors that have already been used) and won't be able to complete the level.
Using the IMMORTAL cheat makes the game pointless, of course, but the BOGEY EATER cheat grants you unlimited lives while still being vulnerable. With only 5 lives in total, I'd say this game is impossible to complete. There are so many situations that are just plain unfair, e.g. at the beginning of level 5, you have to press the UP key before the scene appears or you'll die immediately.
