Neat, but not that neat

It's a pretty alright 3D Platformer with passable melee combat and a lot of rough edges. I enjoyed my first couple of hours with the game quite a lot. I love the art style and general design of the world, but you do start to see where they had to cut corners pretty fast. The combat gets really repetitive really quickly and never adds anything to make it more complex or enjoyable. Yes, you do pick up a new weapon every now and again, but the never fundamentally change anything about how you are going to approach a given situation. Enemy variety is also pretty lacking. Furthermore, the levels never up the gameplay in any big ways. Sure, you have gimmicks that they then stretch out over entire levels, so even these sections get boring in the levels that they are introduced in. That pretty much is the entire game for me...neat little gimmicks that never really build on a solid foundation, but instead add a little bit too it that then fizzles out over a couple of minutes after it has been introduced. I would like to see them make a fleshed out sequel or spiritual successor that improves on this foundation. The game had quite a bit of potential, but never does anything remarkable besides looking very pretty.
