Review from 2020: A neat metroidvania with a very different movement gimmick where you can only jump and bounce between walls to move around. There aren't a lot of abilities and the story is mostly non-existent (you are good guy, bad empire bad, save day) and it is rather short but the music was fantastic and the movement was always fun

absolute peak game. soundtrack is undoubtedly one of the best i've ever heard, right up there with undertale, minecraft, and terraria. the story is beautiful if you care to look at it closely, and the game is overall an immensely detailed masterpiece. 10/10.

The game is a little fetch-questy in the late game when it comes to fulfiling the conditions for the true ending, but other than that this is a beautiful and fun game. The art and music are gorgeous and the mechanics and lore are inspired. I started and finished this right after the 2024 election so playing a game where you fight as the literal avatar of creative freedom against an oppressive regime really hit for me and cemented that freedom and art and expression are something that's always worth fighting for. 8.5/10

This is probably the most unique game in the metroidvania format because of its movement mechanic. Instead of free movement, you can only jump to specific static positions. They give you a bit of aim assist to make it all pretty fluid. Eventually you're so used to it that you're just bouncing around everywhere like it was second nature. The other major element to this game is its soulslike difficulty both in challenge of combat and the very low number of check/save points. You get something like the estus flasks to keep you alive between checkpoints and if you die you potentially go back a long way and lose your "salt". If you die before you collect your salt, you lose it just like in souls games (the salt is used as exp to level you up at checkpoints). The good thing is that certain changes you make to the world are permanent, such as flipping switches, so you can still make progress. Exploration and variety of locations is pretty good. Some challenges are pretty annoying but not so much that I ever felt like rage quitting the game forever. Most of the bosses are very hard. There are a few "cheat"/accessibility options that permanently mark a save file unable to get certain achievements should you elect to use them. There's a bug or two here and there but nothing that interfered with playing the game (after I was able to initially get it to recognize my controller inputs). The art is pretty good IMO and the story, while a little out there, doesn't hinder the game. This is a very imaginative and well-realized game. The developers tried something new and it works surprisingly well. Having the game be so hard probably limits the audience significantly but this is otherwise an extremely underrated game. If you like 2D metroidvanis and a higher than average difficulty then you're not going to go wrong with this game
