What kind of mentalist maps the jump and action button this way round? With no option to remap, this is so frustrating. Don't ask me if it's a good game, I don't have the patience due to the inverted mapping and it makes me swear lots.1 found this helpful
Neat little game. Also the controller works just fine regardless of steam saying the game doesnt support it
I'm grateful for bite-sized games, and this one packs a lot into less than two hours. Varied environments with light backtracking, multiple bosses, new weapons and traversal abilities. There's just enough challenge to the combat and platforming to stay interesting, and the checkpoints are generous. A well designed and executed little gem.
It's a small yet charming little game that has ~30 minutes playtime. While I am giving it a positive review I would value this game at ~2 euro so unless it's on a 50% (or higher) sale it's likely not worth it.
A wonderful, bite-sized Metroidvania. What a great way to spend an hour
Am i conceptually annoyed that the 'mini-vania' is a genre that people keep making games for? Yes. But did i have an alright half an hour or whatever getting through it? Yeah i did actually. And i'm charmed by it being a pico8 game. So like, i dunno. For the price? It was fun enough to make me happy. 31 reviews is brutal
