Dear Billy Basso, thank you for making this game.
I bought this game on videogamedunkey's recommendation, and it sat in my backlog for 2 years. I thought it was an action platformer and didn't research enough to realize it was a puzzle platformer, and I really hate puzzle games, and I couldn't refund it because the refund window was gone. I completed the normal ending with a full walkthrough video on YouTube, and while following the walkthrough, I realized the game's graphics, sound, and environment are very nice; it's just that I don't like puzzles, even the bosses included puzzles to beat them. I think the game is great for people who like puzzle games, but it's not my cup of tea. Wish Steam offered a neutral button, and I would have pressed that, but sadly that is not the case and I didn't like it, so if you like puzzle games, then go ahead and buy it; otherwise, don't buy it.
i liked this game quite a bit but i REALLY disliked that ghost dog thing. the entire rest of the game was pretty cool though so i dont take many points off for it
