Very fun and cozy little game. The controls fell SO good. Don't listen anyone calling it junky, you just have to get used to them and the game is teaching you to handle them better, from level to level. It just feels grand soring through its graphics. I recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge and is into 2d platform. I don't like a lot of games of this genre (I mean the high momentum 2d platforming), but this I loved.

Gorgeous and beautifully made. But the mechanics were frustrating and I never felt like I understood them fully. Had to quit a bit after the tutorial. I really wanted to like this, but it's just not for me.

It's a momentum based platformer, feels really really good when you're flying through the levels. The level design is also quite creative and demanding in many places - I really enjoyed figuring them out. The art and music are great in my eyes, although they may be repetitive to some. The story is something I didn't pay much attention to, and it isn't intrusive at all. So... this game is kinda great, except... there's a LOT of caveats: [*]First and foremost, it does not convey its controls and movement mechanics well. Thankfully there are a couple movement tutorials in the Steam guides section by SparQy (thank you!). If you don't mind this, please do yourself a favor and go through those tutorials before getting into the game. You might have to re-watch them to fully learn everything. I'd have been lost without them. [*]The movement never stops feeling a little janky. It might simply be because there are so many mechanics at work at any given time. [*]The game can stutter a little bit, even though it doesn't look like that kinda game. Consider tweaking the graphics settings. [*]The final boss straight up does not belong in the game. It's just a bunch of trial and error that slogs on for too long. [*]There are bugs. Major bugs. In my own playthrough, after playing for some time, I would always be stuck gliding. This is usually not a problem, but can be incredibly annoying when you need to not glide. Plugging the controller back in fixed that for me. But it reoccurs after some time. A worse bug was my game softlocking at final boss, right before the ending. I had to suffer through that fight again. To top it all off, it reset my save after the ending! I was missing a couple achievements and now I'll have to playthrough the whole game again to have a shot at them :( If you can overlook all the above, there's some great fun to be had here. Do keep in mind that this is a difficult precision platformer, so set expectations accordingly. If the game had reset my save before I got to the end, this would be a negative review. But I guess I got lucky.

Tony Hawk's Pro Whimsical Forest Adventure. You can get really fast and it's a wonder to play, like you can almost feel the wind in your hair as you fly through the beautiful levels.
