i cannot recommend this game enough. while it has its flaws, i find it to be something you can overlook when you take into consideration that a majority of the game was made by one guy.

the game is full of very clear passion for the project, its clear that the developer wanted to make an amazing game much like the 90s platformers many grew up loving. the collectibles are very well distributed across the levels, and the music in each level is just fantastic.

as mentioned, it does have its flaws, the controls are not perfect, clive does not always control as you want him to, character models glitch out and you can get stuck on invisible walls more often than id prefer. the boss battles are also very unmemorable. most of the bosses you dont fight at all, and while i especially found that charming with the mantis boss, it also leaves me wondering what the point of the bosses was, when you dont get to fight them most of the time.

all in all, the flaws i find with it, i can excuse to the fact that its one very passionate guy behind the game. if you are willing to look past this, to get used to controls that can be a bit rough at times, then i cant recommend this game enough. the amount of detail, references to other cartoony platformers, clear inspiration from them, i cant help but smile every time i play it.
