Fun game, nothing too special but kept me entertained. Game is listed as unsupported on the steam deck but only had to remap the buttons to work.

100% review: I picked this game up on a whim due to a sale, thinking it could be a good starter before trying other games of this genre. Looked cute, looked simple enough for mechanics - but my lord they do have complexity hidden in this seemingly easy-looking game. A fantastic start to a journey into this genre. You're not a saviour of the worlds, you're just a simpleton warrior who is trying to make it, creating friends along the way and watching a story unfold before your eyes. Each upgrade you feel the impact, the collectables are enjoyable to locate, it's not an extremely long game either and does not feel tedious whatsoever. It's a rare gem for me to find this and I would highly recommend to give this a go. You can tell the care that was taken creating this fantastic adventure.

You have to admit there's not much visual stunning graphic work nor musical enhancement in this game compare to Hollow knight or Ori. Yet it is still a well-designed game and enjoyable for me to play. Quite an easy game if you choose to escape from the extreme punishing mechanism from silk song.

+Boss fights are mechanically well made, best part of the game +Platforming is decent: worse than Ori games but better than average +Cute characters like Greybird make you smile at times -Story feels very shallow: imagine Cave Story without the story -Almost all bosses lack proper backstory and/or personality -The world is an unmemorable maze, so it's hard to backtrack even with a map Score: 7/10 - recommended to buy with a 50% discount only

March 2025

A nice little Metroidvania that does not do anything special or innovative, but every aspect of it is done perfectly and competently. It has a good balance between platforming and combat, and both are tight and fair. The characters and the world itself are charming and interesting enough to keep you hooked for the length of the game. All in all, a solid entry into the genre.
