At first I thought your character usually being underground and the "charge and release" jump would make it hard to control, but once you get used to it the movement actually feels pretty good. I still think it would've been better with a normal jump, though.

In some ways this feels unfinished: 3 popups about the DLC greet you every time you start the game, there's no way to skip cutscenes (even in the boss rush mode), apparently the soundtrack is literally stock music, etc. The story's also like a Mario game (in a bad way) but the level design is like a Mario game (in a good way). You'll get more out of it if you're interested in time trials and collecting things, but it's still a good amount of game for the price.
