July 2025
* surprisingly tough, don't expect a cakewalk * i personally love the art direction (and much of tom hall's work in general) and it harkens back to the 90s platformer era and particularly gives me dynamite headdy vibes * exceedingly well optimized in-house engine, runs full-speed 4K 60FPS on a steam deck * the jank is real. wall clipping on occasion even post-patch, being able to restart from a checkpoint with score intact is just proof the devs knew and didn't have time to polish it * god tier OST (of course) * i do not like the busker bonus QTEs, at all, specifically the stick twists are a complete coin toss, but they're easy to ignore and don't net you much points anyway * rolling controls are somewhat troublesome but eventually got used to it (having issue particularly with yoyo failing to deploy in-air, costing me combos) * levels definitely designed with heavy replay and perfection of your skills in mind, dunno if i'll sink that many hours into it (unlike pizza tower, a game with similar attributes that nails the replayability factor) * feels like the movement has to *click* and really makes or breaks the experience score: 8.25/10

(playtime is inaccurate, steam deck doesn't record playtime accurately when offline) Just beat this game,and i have to say I'm baffled by the recent negative reviews - it's a genuinely innovative 3d platformer that's bursting with style and fairly easy to beat, but with a deep movement/combo system that makes the mechanics really rewarding to learn and engage with. It's not *perfect* but the negatives (like apparent control imprecision) are much less of a problem than recent reviews make out imo.

Loved it, great 3D platformer, has that Nintendo-like feeling to it. Some clipping here and there, but I had a blast going through the whole thing. Spend some time practicing the movement, combos, jumps, etc and you'll love the game even more.

Can't recommend to play it on the Deck as I dealt with a lot of bugs and glitches there. But underneath a myriad of jank and bugginess, there is a good game here that I would recommend to fans of platformers when the game goes on a good sale.

Most inventive and inspired 3D platformer in a long time, full of unique ideas and is very rewarding to play due to the high skill ceiling with the movement. The game has a lot of early 3D Sega energy when they were experimenting with many new gameplay styles that I appreciate. I hope that Evening Star gets to make another game at some point as I completely loved this. It's sad that it didn't sell as well as they'd hoped. I highly recommend it.
