Actually a good amount of game here. Really good music, good checkpoints, great atmosphere. I'm shocked this game hasn't gotten more attention. This is a pretty chonky, quality, 5 dollar metroidvania with retro aesthetics, that is quality and has a lot of heart. Works good on steam deck aside from only showing pc key prompts.
