Totally agree with the 90%+ rating of this game.
Fun and engaging platformer!

I've just completed main story (no 100% or anything) and had\having a blast.
Few things to note:
+ vibrant and colorful game world (really loving the character art and sprites)
+ simple yet engaging story backed by quirky characters and funny dialogs
+ solid game mechanics and pacing
+ awesome music\sound (in fact I bought this after Shovel Knight which also has an amazing score written by the same guy - Jake Kaufman)
+ challenging! [Though sometimes it's too forgiving: pitfalls\spikes - IMO most frequent death-dealers - only cost you quarter of heart; it felt they should take more, like a whole heart. I ended up with ton of healing items unused]
+ bug-free


My only issues are quite miniscule:
- controls mapping. Because this is a port, it has some awkward control gimmicks: separate inventory pages buttons, shoot\talk single button, Hat button instead of 'hold jump', scimitar instead of 'down while in air'. In case you own a controller just use that!
- level collectibles are only listed on stage select scene and not while playing the stage itself. Annoying in case you're a completionist


Overall, great game for 2D-platformer folks
