this is a good game this game has some minor problems but apart form them it`s really enjoyable naturally it`s not on the sam level as big metroidvina games like a hollow knight, blasphemous, ori and ... but it`s a unique and fun experience

ass game tbh

awesome stuff. This was just the right amount of content and challenge for a person with a full-time job. A refreshing change of pace from what the industry has recently shifted towards, and it even made me want to come back to it. thanks Kunai

very fun
