Great: - The art and visual design is top-tier. - The music is great. - It's nostalgic. - Cool little things like bird races and challenge versions of bosses. - Beating a level feels like an accomplishment. - The world is appealing. - Each level has high replay value. Okay: - You will die and need to memorize the level or set of moves to continue, just like in the era that the game successfully emulates. Bad: - The controls tend to be slippery and leave you with too much or too little momentum, which you can't reverse when you need to. Some people might actually prefer this. Think Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, but not as brutal. I found it frustrating, despite having beaten some challenging video games. - It sometimes feels like the game doesn't respect the player's time or energy. Why do we have to use the currency collected in a level just to use a checkpoint in that level? The most difficult segments are often behind 4 minutes of gameplay without a checkpoint. If you like playing old, difficult games then you will most likely enjoy this. It is not at the level of the best games of those times in my opinion (due to level/game design and mechanics), but it is good. The art style is phenomenal. I recommend playing it just to beat it and not to get everything.

An exquisit game! It's a very charming Jump 'n' Run with lovely pixelated artstyle, nice music and lots of gameplay! I'm honestly surprised that not more people talk about this game. I'm currently beating the game 100%, not much more and I got it! Everything about this game was fun, maybe one or two levels being a bit frustrating (Capy, I see you there :) ). The levels are creative, lovely colorful, the game's challenging but never too much. The bossfights are creative too, weird and charming, rememberable too! I would definitely recommend it, especially if you love Jump 'n' Runs. I'd really be happy if more people would talk about it, it deserves it!

i got this game in a 60% off and it was a good game overall, good difficulty not that hard or easy, not that long or short, the hardest things are optional but i would liked the final boss if it was a bit harder and longer, i come from pepe el mago and it was a good experience overall

A very good, cute 2d platformer that runs very well on Steam Deck. It wears the Super Mario Bros. 3 inspiration on it's sleeve and it has the heart to match. Would recommend!

good platformer game, but not without some caveats - screen resolution is crazy low, even lower than on NES, so it's more like Gameboy Advance game - cloud saves are not supported - game doesn't remember the "full screen" option
