Very hard... but very cool.
There's not really anything *wrong* with this game's design, except the learning curve is pretty much a cliff. Design wise there's a lot here, especially at first glance. So far I haven't seen any repeated bosses and the levels have required unique combinations of inputs to overcome new challenges each time. Unfortunately I won't be playing more because this game is far too difficult for me to want to put significant time investment in. And it would be *significant* time investment to properly master this game. So... cautious recommendation to anyone who loves playing ridiculously hard rhythm games or platformers, but it's not for me.

I really liked the game. Super fun to play on stream and I suck at rythem games + speedruns. You can imagine the amt of times I slammed my hand on the desk. This was also made by one person which makes it even more impressive. For the price, it is well worth it. Dare I say, sell it for 5 instead of 2.
Mechanically welll designed platformer with exceptional soundtrack. The main game is pretty short, but there are several alternative game modes, so there is lot's of replay value to be had. While I do like the visual style, it can sometimes make it somewhat hard to keep track of what's going on, especially on the final boss.
Jeu très spécial avec graphisme très psychédélique (Attention aux épileptiques, car ça fait mal aux yeux) Répond très bien à la manette. Musique et sons parfois énervant, sauf sur certains boss Jeu facile à faire en normal, mais si vous voulez du challenge faite le dans les autres modes.
Fun speedrunning game. Like minimalist Celeste, almost, with more dashes. A true hidden gem, more people should play this! Pros: + Allows you to go fast easily + Liberal use of checkpoints allows for minimal setbacks on mistake + It isn't that hard to beat the level, even not that hard to get C-rank and B-rank, you really have to work for those A- and S- ranks though! + Speedrunning tools such as inbuilt splits every screen compared to PB, and a little icon in the corner with a medal ticking down from S to A etc. are helpful Cons: - Boss fights are only ok, especially the ones that are on cycles, feels a little antithetical to a speedrunning-centred game - In some levels, there are some screens that are much harder than the surrounding screens, making difficulty within a given level not super consistent Overall: Highly recommend, especially for the low price tag. Give it a go, particularly for fans of Celeste looking for something to scratch that itch. 8.5/10

Finalmente puedo escribir una reseña, acabo de comprar el Pack "Functions" para apoyar al creador, que merece mucho más reconocimiento por unos videojuegos que sencillamente son una obra de arte. Ersatz contiene de todo, muy buena música, jugabilidad nueva y muy disfrutable que varían mucho entre Modos de juego lo cual es aún mejor. Jefes sencillos pero no fáciles. Gráficos pixelados de lo mejor y si, a la espera del nuevo juego "Zoners" y muy ansioso!
