Final bosses were not very good, the game sometimes devolved into a uncontrollable chaos mess. Fire Peter is pretty overpowered for most combat situations. normal bosses were a joke, the snail peters were harder than the bosses. The game has a lot of charm and mostly succeeds at what its doing. I have probably had my fill and wont go for the secrets or hard mode.

very peter, very shorts. very satisfied my only real issue with this is the occasionally unclear prompts for certain actions (ie. i was stuck in the Wind Facility for at least an hour cause the game never mentioned you could drop through semisolid floors). other than that, had fun here. would peter shorts again. overall ranking: 10/10

Cute. Cute game. No seriously, it's a fun little Metroidvania, not a bad platfighter, and I can recommend it if you're into either. And, let's face it, there's probably a lot of overlap. MGE me against my baby peter bruh.

I loved playing through this game! It is very funny, and I loved the writing behind all of the other peters. I think this game deserves way more attention than it currently has. It's worth it, trust.

This is more of a precision platformer than I was expecting. Being a platform fighter inspired game, I was hoping the combat and action to feel more the focus and not just functionally there. The kits you unlock are fun to experiment with, but it fast became spamming the thing that worked best and got combat over with quickest rather than me trying to look as cool as possible. One of those times I wish there was a meh option, but I recommend it. It's not 100% my cup of tea but it's fun and well made. And I'm sure there's someone here that will like it way more than I.
