Just a really cute little platformer. The whole inking gimmick is neat and it leads to some cool puzzle bits later on and an actual pretty sick boss battle (both in the same library level actually) and there is the obvious adorable charm present throughout the entire thing. There's not much more I could say about it but I don't think the game set out to be much more than a solid gameboy era platformer and what it does it does well especially at the price. Also I played this to break up my Dusk playthrough after getting too scared by the wendigos and it helped :)
