If you love indie side scrollers, grab this bargain whilst its on sale now! It is easy to pick up, decent skills tree that is fairly easy to max out and the game itself is challenging enough in certain areas, without being too repetitively difficult to keep you engaged. Plays lovely on the Steam Deck! Expecting any proceeds to this game will go into the sequel which is likely much longer.

This is a short game, it took me 2.6 hours to beat but with that considered I would give it a 7.4 out of 10. Cool art style, decent gameplay. Slightly tricky gameplay, nothing too hard but still fun. I look forward to playing the sequel one day. Also if you have a super ultrawide monitor (32:9), it worked perfectly fine and supports that aspect ratio.

Excellent game without overcomplications. It's quite short, I've completed it in 2 hours and got 100% achievement in 2.5 hours. Sometimes you just need game like this that doesn't require 40+ hours just for main campaign

Very cool puzzle platformer. Pleasantly bite-sized, with approachably tough challenges. I love highly polished but small scale games like this.

This game is CRAZY good. I got it on sale, but honestly, it is so worth the full price, despite it's short playtime. The gameplay is engaging, the atmosphere and sound design are perfect, and the story really hit me in the feels. I don't often write reviews, but this was worth it. I'm so getting the second when it comes out.
