Napalm Man: Mega Man's Best AND Worst Robot Master Stage - Peak Design

Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at the Mega Man series: what makes controlling it feel good, how to design a level to challenge those controls, and how one Robot Master somehow manages to embody both the best and worst of the series: Napalm Man!
