Super underrated game. Extremely fun and satisfying action platforming gameplay and even more fun to 100%. Wall jumping might feel a bit weird at first but you will get used to it. The soundtrack is also really really good. 10/10 game. Also it goes on sale cheap.

VSync on makes the game move too fast to react to with high refresh rate monitors.

The game is challenging, but, a lot of that is because the hit boxes are cruel and the controls a little awkward. Going for the collectible pages is a good idea if you want or need the extra content.

I love how completing a level gives me a feeling of accomplishment. It's a hard game but harder to stop trying. The blood and brutal ways to slaughter the enemies is a huge bonus.

There's a kagillion indie platformers out there. This is one of the good ones; if you're looking for a challenging experience. The music is solid, the controls feel responsive and I liked the heavy pixalated art when I played it but looking back it is pretty simple compared to how far pixel art has come more than a decade later. Definitely pick this up if you're in the mood for a challenging action platformer.
