✦ AI summary

Players appreciate Mangavania's tight controls and musical score, but criticize it as overpriced for what amounts to a short speedrun platformer rather than the metroidvania adventure the title suggests. Common complaints center on frustrating enemy placement, occasional input responsiveness issues, and a lack of engaging content—with the game offering only about 20 brief levels that most find more tedious than captivating, though some consider it worthwhile at deep discounts.

I kind of hate this game. not because it's bad it feels like decent game but I did't find this game very enjoyable most deaths felt like the games fault and it also feel like I payed to much for a game I bought on sale because it feels and looks like a game you find on coolmath games

Ever heard the expression, "I'd buy that for a dollar"? That is about what I would recommend anyone spend on Mangavania. Anything more is overpriced. The game itself isn't bad...but it is just pretty much average. The black and white look didn't bother me, except for the spikes (that even still being red) were sometimes hard to see. There are a lot of cheap hits..especially the bat tossers. (I think they are bats.) Nothing in this game is going to wow you. And i really don't see playing for more than like 30 mins at a time before wanting a break. The game is poorly named though. It sounds like an adventure, and starts off designed like one....but then turns out to be a speed running game with 20 levels. The weird thing about it is, unlike others, I actually enjoyed the music. It just fits the mood in such a cheesy way. I wouldn't go out of my way if I were you to get it and pay full price. But for $1 it is possible to squeeze enough out of it to get your money's worth. If it started at $1, I'd actually change my thumb.

I feel like I need to write a review about this since none of the other reviews really explain the situation here... This game is tiny speedrun levels that are brought down by controls that decide when to work. - You collect a certain number of Navi looking things to open the door to leave - You can find a hidden character in each level - the level grades you on your performance This is the entire game. There's 20 levels that you can finish in less than a minute each. You do have a boss fight happen a few times as well, but it's bogged down by a fight that requires responsive controls. Then, while rushing through levels, you add your character not attacking or jumping half the time when you clearly pressed the button into the mix, and reset because an enemy hit you that you either killed or jumped over on your end of the controls. It's worse than I can explain because it works more than it doesn't, so it just happens unsuspectingly randomly when you're playing and it ruins the entire feeling of rushing through levels. This game is not a Metroidvania; it's more like a 2D platformer with progression elements. This game is not hard; the controls are not completely responsive. Thi…

Actually fire little gem definitely a miss label with "metroidvania" as it is more a time trial precision platformer thing but honestly i expected way worse it actually controls very well and for 70 cents on sale it's more than worth your time and money. I've played way worse for the price point.

Its an alright concept, but its just doesn't grab me or have anything standout in its design
