How is Bramble at low to intermediate play?

[GreatGonzales]

I think the bramble is probably the most difficult of all the specials to use effectively. So, I think it may not be as sucky as you think. That said, I also am not inclined to play Veggienauts since I don't see a lot of utility for the bramble. It could be that the bramble is only really useful on some levels, as well.
