Solid Metroidvania with ~20h of content. Could use some polish but is still pretty great as is.

The English translation has been largely fixed and the game is understandable by now.

The game itself revolves around checkpoints which progress time and change the areas based on it. You can travel back to the start or any checkpoint to try different routes.

Snappy and responsive with lots of options for how to go about your battles. If you're struggling, I'd recommend leveling up the sword, butterfly, and rolly guy to max first. (>.> ) You'll understand as you play.

I absolutely adore the soundtrack, and hope that an OST is available. There are several tracks that I will be listening to for years, especially the first tree area track and one of the flooded underground tracks, and in general the piano pieces which I'll be level with you, especially at the ending, did an excellent job at pulling out a few tears. Still kinda miffed about that.

Adorable art style, plenty of MV fun to be had with a unique twist on some of your expected movement abilities.



I have only one complaint about the game: they charged way too little.

DEVS IF YOU ARE LISTENING THIS GAME WAS WORTH MORE MONEY, I LOVE YOUR GAME, I LOVE THE ART AND MUSIC AND I'M GONNA MISS XI AND OURO. :( Thank you for the memories!

Another great Metroidvania that actually held me to 100% complete. I'd recommend this when you're in between other games or want another solid metroidvania game to play.

Pros:
+ The game is very cheap compared to other games. Making entry easy!
+ The time rewinding mechanic and tracing a path through the areas each time was very well thought out and implemented.
+ No contact damage
+ Large variety of skills to supplement combat. Though you can only equipment 1 skill at a time. (not counting ouro skills when can be cycled through at any time).
+ Movement and traversal feels great and snappy
+ Finding new paths to new areas feels good! Not to mention the time rewinding aspect that can make it much more intriguing.

Cons:
- No i-frames other than ouro grab. Not even 'dash' gives you i-frames which can be extremely frustrating at times.
- Is very easy to get multi-tapped damaged and get instant killed at times. It can be hard to track how much HP you have at times when you get hit 2-3 times in a second.
- The environment/art design is extremely simple and un-impactful, there's no areas that make you go "wow!".
- The sound design is the same. Extremely simple and un-impactful.
- No way to track if an area has been 100% completed or if all items have been collected.
- Story is kind of basic (and the translation doesn't help).
