I actually disliked ability mixing
not because the concept is bad but
64 had 49 different powers, counting all combinations
roughly half of them were useless, another 25% used only in certain puzzles, and the other 25% were OP
well I guess really they were all OP because enemies died in one hit anyways
it was more a novelty than anything actually interesting
perhaps there may be a better way to execute on the idea, but it seems that once you get that many different power-ups, even if you attempted to flesh out each and every one of them to be useful and unique, they'd start to bleed together really easily
