A fun platformer whose visuals and soundtrack can help overlook some of the glaring technical flaws.
Audio

49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Chris Huelsbeck's soundtrack, just like all of his work, gives an impression of effort and passion rather than the copy/paste tunes many a low budget game offers.

Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controller support is good, I think that the problem is in the design.
