epic platformer, would recomend

I found this quite fun. The art obviously has… not much effort. But the level design and gameplay were pretty slick and fun for my 3.5 hour play through My only feedback - the final boss’s arrow attack is insane. Even if you manage to parry it, there’s an arrow right after that will hit you. This needs to be slowed down, I ended up not finishing the game because of it. Overall, the game is priced fairly and I don’t regret my purchase. If you look at the trailer and think “I could see myself liking this”, then you probably will. It’s not for everybody, but it scratches that Metroidvania itch perfectly well.

The best game I've bought in a while, a really fun yet really difficult experience from start to finish with a nice soundtrack, completely recommend.

This game has some of the most deviously clever platforming I've seen in a while. I found myself constantly screaming "Noooo!" at the computer as I jumped into yet another group of spikes. Yet I kept pressing on, eager to see what new form of torture awaited me next. Very good job. Also, tip for others: press escape to make the game fullscreen.
