Pros: - challenging - in built god mode to help with the challenging parts - good combat wise - good pricing, especially on sale - there are YT walkthrough videos to help clear the game - decent amount of content. Took me 7 hours to complete (including time that I paused the game to check on the YT walkthrough video) Cons: - the game randomly hangs from time to time - the progress stuck at a certain point while playing in hero mode thus unable to complete the game - there is a scourge level mechanic which forces you to clear a corrupted level before you can progress further into the game - the plaforming part of the game is not smooth at all. The wall jump introduced is janky, no double jump in mid air, and the roll is NOT a good substitute for a dash. Due to this, I got softlocked and had to restart the whole level after getting stuck at a certain point of the level if I missed something - underwater levels are not fun, I basically rush through the levels for it. It has this fish which spits out air bubbles behind you so you have to preiodically move back a bit to collect the air bubble then move forward again or you will die regardless the enabled god mode

This is a pretty decent platformer in my opinion. The story and gameplay feels normal to me but that probably because I've played tons of platforming game in my entire life. The story is just a simple save someone without heavy plot twist and such but the gameplay is where the game shines. The skills you can unlock make it more fun to attack enemies, the level design are fine and boss battles are fun. The normal enemies do feel a little buff though which can make it feel like a chore to attack them. Also I love the pixel art a lot, it's really beautiful. You can see the soul and hard works of the artist throughout the game. Overall it's alright. Not really for a hardcore gamer but would feel nice to a casual gamer

Quite fun. I like the animation alot, and I love the big puppy. It does feel like there isnt enough coyote time, and that can make platforming a little difficult.

A nice 2D platformer with pretty average writing. The level design was very interesting and explored mechanics a lot, with thought put into how to make them puzzly. SOME of the bosses were pretty fun, others were average.

A solid action platformer. Nothing more needs to be said. It's exactly what it looks like.
