April 2025

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.

April 2025

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.

March 2025

A rollercoaster of emotions with this one: The good: +Incredible movement (when you actually get the hang of it). You can do a lot with the game's momentum if you know what you are doing, and the levels are very well accomodated for that +Level design keeps getting better and better towards the end. The stages have a cool theme with a spin, and there a lot of little gimmicks added in each world. +At first didn't love the music, but there are a lot of certified bangers in here +Good and rewarding collectibles that flow very well within the levels +The bonus levels you unlock with the collectibles are exactly what they needed to be; focused challenges that really feel like a bonus stage with no connection to the main game. The bad: -The boss battles ended up being more of a nuisance than a good addition, even the final boss was kind of a chore compared to the normal levels. -The "pro" control scheme (jump with the bumpers, use the Yo-Yo with the Right Stick) ended up being a failure in my eyes; i totally get what they were going for and i tried to master them, but it just didn't feel right. Ended up using the "simple" one (jump and yo-yo with the face buttons) but without actually activating it; luckilly the game lets you use both at the same time in case you need the precision of the Pro scheme (which almost never happened in my playthrough) -I value unique artstyle, but i cannot stand the protag's design. I can't even look at its face, i don't know why but it really bothers me -The QTEs at the end of each level are not only anticlimactic but it could've been nice if at least there were more than 3 animations for the whole game or if it at least tried to match your button presses. It felt more like an afterthought to add SOMETHING to the end of the stages. Completely unnecesary, adds nothing. And it makes me look at the face of the character even more -The NPC's that give you a timed challenge, begin the timer inmediately, by the time you are reading the text telling you what you need to do, the time is already ticking. That may sound like a minor thing but drove me up a wall -The "Ride" controls (an integral part of your moveset) are super counterintuitive. I spent like half the game without understanding how to actually steer the thing -Very buggy, i've fell through the terrain a lot, at the worst times even Ok, it seems like i have more gripes than praises for this game, but i ended up liking it a lot once i've come to terms with most of its cons. Once i truly understood how the movement works and what controls to use, i couldn't put it down. So if you go with all of this into consideration, you will enjoy it too.

Feb. 2025

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.

June 2024

The movement/trick based gameplay is quite fun, but ultimately, this game is very unpolished. I respect the hell out of Christian Whitehead and co., and I absolutely understand why they wanted to break away from Sonic despite the success of Sonic Mania, but this game has definite issues, not just limited to the poor collision that everyone has already brought attention to, and I'd really only call it a complete recommendation for diehard fans of either platformers or the art of Naoto Ohshima which this game clearly draws from. Other than those groups, I would say play at your own risk.
