Looks charming, music is nice. However, buggy as hell for a small game that has been out for a year. Mouse and Keyboard controls do not work, no matter what buttons I would set weapon wheel, it would not register inputs. Even though it works on controller. Language setting broke halfway through my playtime. Pop ups and input bubbles became untranslated and fiddling with settings didn't help. Input settings reset to default option doesn't actually work and doesn't register being pressed. Mouse inputs do not register in the menu at all. Overall, probably would have enjoyed it, but decided not to bother after seeing all the hoops I'd need to jump through to play it in a way I'd like to. Play it if you can look past these issues.

Really cool game, it has a nice art style, fun combat, and good bosses (for the most part), there are a few janky things, like the spinning platforms in the fluffy section. but overall a nice experience. the lag is sometimes there, but rarely. except for one boss. Irene cool bossfight for the most part, until you get to the second phase. She covers the whole screen in black clouds and it lags the hell out of your computer. if you want to beat the boss. try to hit them during their openings, and avoid the attacks. AND PRAY IT WORKS. That's the only giant flaw I had with the game. and it isn't that bad (cue hornet quote) I do also wish there was a button on the pause screen to quick die because you have to no hit bosses for achievements. Overall, a neat game with a cute art style, and nice music and bosses
