The Full Game Is Better (See Review)
First of all, I need to point out a bug that I experienced. I could not load the game in the demo. The developer could not replicate this. Should this occur to you then the developer has got a thread for feedback in the game's forum. Please consider reporting it there. I verified that this bug DOES NOT exist in the full game. Said version also has got achievements if you care about those even though the storefront does not reflect this reality at the time of me writing this review. I did not beat the game yet but all of the ones that I got seem to have unlocked properly. If you play this demo first and you have synching issues when booting up the full game then uninstalling the demo helped solve those issues for me. GOG has only recently allowed for the editing of reviews and I am still getting used to this. I also don't often have to award points to a demo which is, at the time of me writing this, worse than the full game. I would give the demo a 7/10 with the lack of saving and there is an issue with the 2nd stage boss (after you exit the caves) which I encountered in the full game but never got around to in the demo due to the saving issue but I must assume exists in here, as well. (I would verify this if it weren't for the synching problem.) While I am confident in saying that the full game is better I have not managed to complete it yet. This is another reason why I prefer to finish games first. I will edit this review with a grade once I do so you will have a better impression. With that out of the way, the game takes some time getting used to in terms of controls. Once you understand what the game expects of you it will make a massive difference. I did NOT go with story mode, which means that you lose 5 coins each time that you wipe, and the first stage where you can find coins and candy had me finish with 0 coins on my first attempt. On my second attempt I ended with 35 coins. The game gives you a "dash" but I personally think that a better word for this move would be "twirlwind". This "charges up" your jump to become stronger as it lifts you up higher into the air. You can read the description of what the game is about or watch a trailer but doing it for yourself is worth a 1000 pictures. This game is not easy. You will want to save up coins to buy upgrades and look for secrets. In that sense the platforming will make the boss battles easier to deal with. That is something to consider. The game has got some small touches like artwork of the bosses appearing in Monie's house after you defeat them. Flowers will open if you shoot them. Bats drown. Every stage has got unique artwork for completionist stats on the overworld. You can find bits of lore to piece together the backstory of the world. Tips (for those who don't want to figure things out for themselves). -Interact with all of the signs that you come across in levels! -There is an in-game NPC who shows up to alert you to a stage's major secret.
