64% of themes are praise9% are divided27% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
112 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
These powers expand the possibilities of the central mechanic and ensure that later stages are not merely harder versions of earlier obstacle courses.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
87 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
The story gives all of this mechanical challenge a warmer emotional foundation.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
Frequent checkpoints keep its difficulty reasonably approachable, while hidden content and timed challenges provide additional objectives for players who want more than basic completion.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is (mostly) really fun, the controls (mostly) feel very fluid, the pixelart is gorgeous and the music slaps (some tracks more than others), the SFX are very satisfying and well done (one part of gamedev that usually doesn't get the praise it deserves), also a lot of side characters have some funny writing, made me smile at times
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
A lot to like about the game: visuals, animations, sound, music, gameplay, and so on; especially if you like similar precision platformer games, such as Celeste and Windswept.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
10 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
The game is officially Steam Deck Verified, with its core functionality working through the handheld's controls and its interface remaining usable on the smaller display.
