So far, it's a pretty good game, but the pace is painfully slow. If movement was even just 1.5x faster, it would be a much more enjoyable experience. Back tracking is tedious at this pace. That said, if you want a little time burner, enjoy a slight challenge and reminisce about the way back days, this might be up your alley.

A well polished puzzle platformer. It was a delight to see them make a whole game out of a few simple concepts. It was challenging, but not in an overly frustrating way (until the final area when platforming requires perfection or you instantly die).

Great game. Can't beat the sale price either. I'd love to see more puzzle platformers like this one.

Really simple and easy little platformer. I can't really call this a Metroidvania, as is. You only get spells that give you more movement options, there are no "upgrades" to give you double jumps ect. But the puzzles were elementary, combat was simple and easy, instant death spikes were the only real threat the whole game, only few bosses here and there. It's basically a nice introductory game to platforming adventure game genre. After couple of spells you could go anywhere and collect stuff. Finding all 99 orbs was a bit of a hassle and I lost couple of hours just wandering around and hugging walls for secrets. Last two orbs was the absolute worst tho. Both were really well hidden behind secrets and I could have ended the game like three hours earlier. Game is fun in the end and recommended on sale. Graphics were cute and music really earwormy.

A great little metroidvania with authentic NES aesthetics and fantastic music. Thankfully not too long or too difficult, though unfortunately it ends on nothing, leading straight into its sequel... which was unfortunately not as good.
