Great game with some bizarre flaws
I would definitely recommend this game to anybody who has any interest in retro-style action platformers, but during my time with the game there were three flaws that I couldn't really overlook. The first one is that this game is weirdly easy. While I don't mind playing games that don't pose too much of a challenge, this game constantly gives the feeling that it was designed with a much more restrictive control scheme. Many threatening-looking rooms can be breezed past, either because a very easy to acquire ability (such as slashing projectiles) will allow you to trivialize any challenge or because the game just provides you more safe ground or walls to grab onto than you would expect. By the end of the game the level of challenge approached what you would encounter in the earlier stages of Shovel Knight. The second one is that the writing is pretty bad. 95% of the game is fourth wall breaking about videogame tropes, and the story-dump at the end of the game reads like it was jotted down in 5 minutes. The last one can be considered a spoiler, so stop reading if you don't want to know too much about the game. Bear in mind that I still recommend it. When the game reveals its true nature, so to speak, it provides way too few warping points considering the kind of backtracking you need to do. Some of the "quest lines" are also incredibly convoluted and non-intuitive, you basically have to stumble upon the right track to get the thing that will ultimately allow you to proceed further. I was lucky in this regard, but had I not been the game would have probably been really frustrating. All in all I had a lot of fun with this game, but some of the design decisions were just baffling to me. I'll definitely keep an eye on the developer to see if their next project improves upon this promising foundation while removing the kinks.
