The gameplay was great, although there was a small issue with targeting where it would flicker and not grab on to the objects and I'd fall to my death.
Story

Also: the narrative design reminds me of how Rosalina's story is told to the player in Super Mario Galaxy.

5 of 93 sampled reviews raised it
An admittedly familiar, but somehow improved character controller + very solid level design chops makes this a generally very fun 3D platformer.
