Very entertaining 2D action platformer with metroid like elements, I liked it a lot!

Always a new mechanic throughout the game, varying level design, funny dialogues, direct controlls, gorgeous graphics with a nice twist in the middle of the game that is perfectly entangled into the gameplay, paired with an entertaining soundtrack to keep your head bobbing all the time.

And neither too long nor not too short, I completed the game with all collectibles in about 14 hours.

Definetly worth the money and even a steal when on sale.

(I will now start nagging the boys to play this game until one of them does.)

Ok, so overall this is a great game, worth it at sale price for sure (I got for $3.99). Updated as of completing the game.

Controls are tight and the platforming is good, I like the cloud step mechanic. My main gripe for an otherwise great game is just that the rope dart (grapple hook) ability is VERY finnicky about the end hit box and when/where it connects. That and the pull through to enemies can be a little inconsistent, so I end up taking damage guessing what adjustments I need to make movement wise because I don't know if it's going to pop me up over them, through them, etc. The character hitbox also seems to be a little janky with some sections when it comes to lasers/certain enemies.

I also dislike the fact that I can't target attack directionally while standing/jumping, since there are several enemies that come at you from weird angles you can't fully/reliably counter projectiles from. The winged suit downwards attack is there but it feels like the rest should be possible too, just my 2 cents.

Those points aside, game looks great, music is great, plot is nothing special so far but I also just started working on Sea of Stars, so I'm told there's some details from this game I may appreciate in hindsight. I found the dialogue from the shopkeeper a little dull. Areas are fairly redundant with mostly a new coat of paint, bosses and platforming are pretty easy once you get used to the mechanics (which will happen quickly if you have a background with platformers since these are not hard mechanics).

Recommended pick up esp on sale price, but don't go in expecting anything overly complex or difficult. I'd give it a 7/10. Good experience, worth the money, but not going on my list of favorites.

Didn't beat it, but its a solid game for its genre. The dev put tons of love and care into it.
