Nice world, ok platforming, meh puzzling

On the good side, the graphics are great and the in-computer universe should appeal to you if you liked Tron, FRACT OSC or Construct Escape The System. Exploring that world is pleasant in this game with mild Metroidvania mechanics. The story unveils progressively though you might not feel very involved. New powers are discovered at a good pace. Savepoints are placed often enough. In the harder platforming areas, plummeting to your death doesn't bring you too back behind, which doesn't make it too frustrating. My regrets are that hacking interactions are almost never used in the game. Given the abundance of "bits", it feels like there were former plans to make hacking have a more important place in the game. Also circuits puzzles can be solved without thinking by randomly activating switches. The game is mostly about platforming and shooting, there is much less puzzling than Supraland. The game is not very long. Unconfigurable keyboard controls are okayish except for the Ctrl key you will need near the end of the game, which may be a bit painful for your hand. Not necessarily a problem, but you might sometimes feel left on your own, as the oversimplified map doesn't tell what powerups you already collected. There are 2 endings, getting the good one is easier once you gain the final powerups. Hint: don't be afraid to increase the brightness in the settings or you might not see anything in darker areas!
