This game is fresh! It does a lot with its minimalist design and aesthetics. There's some really fun secrets and surprises, but be prepared to do some dying and retrying, especially at the bosses. Options are lacking a bit - control remapping and volume controls would especially have been nice. If you like experimental takes on metroidvania/action-adventures (like Minishoot Adventures, Yoku's Island Express, etc.) and are down for the retro aesthetic you'll find a lot to love here.1 found this helpful
Wow, this is truly an impressive feat of minimalistic design. A fun and unique, but challenging entry into the metroidvania genre. Well done.1 found this helpful
Fun minimalistic metroidvania. Good music. Solid secrets. The last boss was pretty infuriating to me difficulty wise. The attack with the squares all around you hit me 50% of the time even with the slowmo ability.1 found this helpful
game is super cool, clever, and fun. If you think you're clever you should try it. Great game to play while travelling too, on a plane would be perfect. It's fun, it's cool, you should try it1 found this helpful
This top down metroidvania is really well done but it is really not for everyone. It is very heavily focused on parry in order to do damage to enemies. I grew exhausted with this and ended up dropped the game. Playing the demo first before buying is a must. Time to refund...
the game is 99% fun but the final boss sucks
