Just completed the first chapter. I'm not much of a platformer guy but I can always be tempted into buying a cute indie game, and this one's definitely cute. The art is genuinely pretty charming, with flower petals and birdhouses for checkpoints and weird creatures. Difficulty- and gameplay-wise, it's in a good spot. I never got stuck anywhere for minutes at a time, but I wasn't just sailing through either. And it's well-paced re: introducing and combining new elements. Got a couple "oh, that's really clever"s out of me on some puzzles. And there are some neat little quality-of-life details that I don't think I've seen before (though again, not a huge platformer guy), like a pretty seamless free look mechanism that you can use at the start of the puzzle to look ahead. All in all, not a bad time. Made me feel tranquil and a little nostalgic. Man I'm old.3 found this helpful

Super fun and challenging. The second chapter would greatly benefit from a colorblind mode, as the brown vines are almost impossible for me to see against the various shades of green that make up the background. The soundtrack kept me going. It's phenomenal!1 found this helpful
I like it but don't love it.1 found this helpful
Very fun: - Lots of fun mechanics to learn and master; - Very atmospheric and chill; - Fun story; - Old-school vibes with modern comforts.
I love this game, the gameplay is engaging with new power-ups each zone with difficult collectibles to achieve that never felt unfair thanks to its checkpoint system. It's artstyle is really beautiful, each zone stands out by their own. It is a shame that it has so little reviews, it is the best plataformer I have ever played.
