If you have the 1MB version (like AVGN had), Skylar does repeat the one infamous phrase after every contact with terrain. If you are new to the controls, it will be annoying.
But I do love the game. Nice variety of planets and enemy types (yeah the one hit enemies are cheap) despite the repetitive gameplay. At least there are different variations to collecting the pods, like breaking down shield generators, enemies that steal pods, the darkness, and warps to hidden areas. Plus, it was worth going out of your way to explore and collect extra pods to earn extra lives (which were definitely needed). Plus boss levels.
The title music amps me up and I don't mind the lack of music, there are plenty of sound effects. It was impressive in 93-94. I didn't quite understand framerates back then, I just knew it had 'smoother' motion over games like Starfox. And your morphing ship was a nice graphical touch. Great pack-in, I remember looking forward to the game when I bought a Jag back in the day.
