Its quick and cute. The early game and bosses were the most fun. It had a couple really finicky spike sections to get through. Only one problem i had with the game really, its a movement mechanic, if you pressed against a wall you wont slide into gaps and just fall to your death. Really annoying to just barely overshoot with the gap with an aerial dash or running out of jetpack. You fall like a brick past any opening in a wall as you fall. I took my time and finished with everything collected in 6hours, its probably more like (2-4h of gameplay, its hard to guesstimate) i spent way too much time doing pointless things and backtracking to the same exists over and over because i forgot what was at each as well as taking some breaks as well as farming for specific upgrades. 15€ euro seems a bit expensive for that amount of game you get but thats what the summer sale is for. Perfectly fine for 3€ something with a 75% discount.

Short but fun. Done by a person alone, with lots of love and passion.

I very much enjoyed this game. I am a fan of indie 2D combat-focused metroidvanias, and this one adds to the genre nicely. The character moves quit nicely, the map is serviceable, there is a good variety of enemies, and the boss fights are fun and challenging! The graphics are simplistic, but I quite like them, they really fit the vibe of being an indie game! I played thru and beat the game on my Steam Deck without any technical issues. Overall, I would definately recommend this game, looking forward to the developer's next game!

Awesome

This game is absolutely frustrating. I quit after 15 minutes and not going back. And I'm saying this as a hardcore metroidvania fan with a lot of patience. It's not worth your time and money. If you want a great game with the same aesthetic, I recommend Gato Roboto

A sad failure at making a good game. With incredibly small health pools, unavoidable knockback multi-hits and a Souls-like lose currency system, you can only grind for currency to get tools to balance out the clunky controls and minimal room to maneuver. Of course, the big bad says if you can beat the 4rth boss, all enemies should get double HP which makes it an unbearable slog. Gave up on it shortly after when losing my 3rd 1000 currency to knockback into spikes, into enemy, and oh, I only have 3HP.
