Immaculate aesthetics, hauntingly beautiful sound design, and a simple yet deep real-time combat system that's left me feeling absolutely cathartic after a clutch win. I kinda regret buying this discounted, even if it's short. Nonmateria has made something truly special here, and I can't wait to git gud so I can unlock and read the whole zine. Don't be discouraged by the funky visuals, and give it a try! It's even got local multiplayer (that works with Remote Play Together), so you can beat-glyph battle your friends!

it's gonna make me bust a move it's a very small game with a fun gameplay loop and beautiful visuals and sounds. more a work of art than a game, but still a game! definitely worth playing. encourages multiple playthroughs by providing you with multiple different characters and level difficulties, along with unlockable rewards for completing challenges.

Came for the cool looking visuals and sound design, stayed for the surprisingly addictive gameplay loop and evocative worldbuilding. Even if the combat wasn't enjoyable, the beautiful aesthetics and art direction would probably make it worth the price anyway. Overall, very good game that should be played by way more people.
