pleasantly different, with some frustration with getting around. i had fun with the controls but i don't think i've ever mastered them, and i don't know if i could easily recommend it to players, especially those that aren't into esoteric movement methods. i think it's a fine length in playtime as well.

play this game if you've played several 2d collectathons that aren't combat focused, and shakes up the genre, and/or are into a different style of movement (especially if you like foddians. not saying that it is one). if not then stay clear, it'll more likely annoy you. this is definitely not an action-heavy metroidvania so don't expect that going in.

Nice short and sweet pinball metroidvania. Fun characters, reasonable level design. Some annoying puzzles to get some items but nothing too crazy

Review from 2018:
Not as much of a Metroidvania as I thought it would be but still very fun, the pinball mechanic is definitely unique, but there were times when you would get stuck on a table in a loop because absolute precision was required, not having a fast travel was a touch tedious, but the game was so charming that it was easy enough to overlook those shortcomings
