Excellent 3D platformer with exceptional movement mechanics. Blocky, low-poly environments and muddy, low-resolution textures hearken back to the era of early 3D a la Ocarina of Time, along with a great soundtrack that really sets the tone of the game. The character animations are stylish and fluid and really make you feel like you're good at the game (even if you aren't).

The movement abilities in particular were extremely well-chosen and really make you feel like you're breaking the rules as you use them to scale walls and surf over toxic pools to navigate around the sprawling castle that makes up the map.

I noticed a bit of weakness in the UI, such as the map screen not fitting correctly within the frame of the screen and the extra power node just being a generic grey UI box instead of with an extended version of the UI asset, as well as a couple small issues with a time trial ending prematurely and one time I got locked inside the main menu and was forced to quit and reload, but none of the above overly impacted my enjoyment of the game.

While the genre (retro-styled 3D platformer metroidvania) might be narrow enough to put some off, I highly recommend anyone who isn't to purchase and play this game. Props to everyone involved in this game's development.
