Feel like a superhero: play this game

Full disclosure, I got the game for free. That said, there was a moment playing this game where the controls and animation combined to make me feel like I was controlling a budding superhero as she learned to control her powers. True, her powers are movement based (she can double jump and dash forward quickly), but the way things combine just feels so great. The story, while nothing to write home about, is not actively harmful to gameplay. The story amounts to "we want to explain why our hero is bothering to go through the super frustrating levels". It reminds me of the stories in old DOS games. One nice feature of the game is the "accessibility options", which, to be honest, are just easy to find and turn on and off cheats. They range from infinite doublejumps and invincibility to just having slightly higher jumps. On the one hand, sometimes it is nice to just have the tools to beat a level. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like I am robbing myself when I turn them on. Ultimately, however, the cheats don't always let you trivially bypass a level (and there was at least one level where I turned them on and still couldn't win so I turned them off and left the game for a while and then beat the level without them on when I came back).
