This game is an excellent adventure that combines fun Megaman Zero/Metroidvania gameplay with a loving narrative and bright fun colors. There’s a lot to discover and play styles to use to your advantage.

Short and sweet Metrodvania with visuals that invoke Megaman influences, but with the smooth movement options of more modern games. You can dash around from the very start and there is a ton of flexibility in how to approach each environment. The boss fights all feel super memorable, and a few are really challenging. A bevy of accessibility tools means there is nobody I couldn’t recommend game to, just based on skill level. Under all of that is a touching story about grief, love, and Cycles. I was able to 100% it in about 4 hours and none of that time felt wasted on backtracking or hunting for secrets.

An incredibly fun metroidvania clearly made with love and devotion. A lovely art style, a varied cast of characters, and a pair of cute lovers. Interesting plot, challenging bosses… a true indie darling. 🫶

Very fun and charming metroidvania: nice pixel art, interesting plot and lovable characters, cool bosses, great soundtrack (I've been unable to get the mall theme out of my head for days). It is quite easy though imho (I ended up equipping weaker items in order to have some challenge) but still enjoyable as a chill exploration game. The protagonist's movement feels a bit different than most platformers, but you get used to it quickly and the dash move you start the game with ends up being a very satisfying way to quickly move through the world.

Cycle is a labor of love and it shines through every area, every NPC, every track of music, every little detail. Playing it transported me to a fun, vibrant and incredible world that I think people should give a chance to! I struggle a lot with picking up videogames--let alone finish them, and it was such a mindless instinct to try and 100% this. The game allows you to play however you feel like it, has fun details and lore at every corner, and was just in general such a lovely time to me. Please play Cycle! You will not regret it!
