Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
For the time being, nice 2D precision platformer, it didn't overstay it's welcome, the progression through a mix of story and difficulty is overall well paced, recommended it as someone who hasn't played a precision 2D platformer fully and felt awesome being able to finish those increasingly difficult levels and bosses.
