About

Deep within the Marigold Meadows held the Radiant Lily, a mythical herb capable of dispelling any ailment. Upon finding it, Lyra ventures through Florian to deliver the herb to the kingdom of Clerica. Leap through 5 areas in this 2D platformer adventure and face off against foes and bosses alike by using Lyra's harp based attacks.
With her trusty spin jump, Lyra is able to weave through enemies without taking contact damage whilst she journeys back home. By diving onto slopes, Lyra can gain a burst of speed when she jumps.
Run (C by default / Double tap forward or backward): Lyra enters a run state that is faster than her usual walk speed. Running and then jumping can cross larger gaps compared a regular jump.
Spin Jump (Up + Jump / Down + Jump): Jumps higher than usual and deals light damage to enemies. Ignores contact damage from enemies.
Dive (Down + Jump while in the air): Quickly moves downwards and passes through contact damage from enemies. Land on slopes to quickly slide down.
Dive Jump (Dive onto a slope and then Spin Jump): Leaps across greater distances at top speed. Perform a second jump after landing to conserve momentum.
Power Cut (Keep the attack button pressed down after an attack): Gathers up energy to release an attack with more range and damage. Charge is lost upon getting hit.
Call (A by default / Up + Attack): Uses Muse Points (MP) to cast ranged attacks with Lyra's familiars. Use left swap and right swap (S and D by default) to switch between these moves.

Joining Lyra are her loyal animal friends, Lepus, Felis, and Columba. By using Muse Points (MP) she is able to call upon her allies and combat foes who are beyond her reach. Although Lyra's MP pool is modest, she can refill her MP by landing physical attacks.

Featuring the iconic LCD palette from the 1990s. Choose between 15 color palettes to change a playthrough from a calm sunset to a deep midnight. Adding to this is an 8-bit classic soundtrack to complement the familiar green screen aesthetic. Strive for S ranks and quicker times with a refreshing new look for the game.

felis is my goat
An enjoyable action-platformer with a focus on combos and hard-counters. I'm not sure what Li'l Red did to piss off all these woodland creatures but you've got a wide variety of moves to help you best them. Alternatively, you can use Red's mobility to race through levels. It's certainly not "Kirby's Dream Land", but I wouldn't say its hard either. It does require a bit of cautious play and it rewards a player who uses all of Red's moves. My controller worked well and the controls themselves were fairly tight. If you're in the mood for a combat-heavy platformer you can't go wrong with Li'l Red.
The game is too hard. I don't mind a bit of a challenge but this game is just too hard for you to even enjoy it. The controls are delayed, avoiding enemy attacks is almost impossible, and the knockback is ridiculous and makes you fall almost instantly. Not to mention, the weapon charging also sometimes doesn't work.

Cute Gameboy-styled platformer inspired by Kirby's Dreamland 1 & 2. Straightforward gameplay and a difficulty curve that feels just right. Also lets you swap between chiptune and modern soundfonts. Feels great to play!
Muy bueno, lindo y desafiante
Juego Completado sin ningún problema en Steam Deck ✅ / ✅ Game completed without any issues on Steam Deck (English Review Below ⬇️) Li'l Red es un juego bueno y muy lindo pero difícil, bastante. Su aspecto gráfico me recordó mucho a los juegos de Game Boy. (Incluso el juego tiene filtros que imitan las paletas de colores de la Game Boy Color). Sin embargo este juego esconde un su verdadero rostro al inicio. Pues pese a su aspecto sencillo y de chill, este juego es bastante difícil, diría que a nivel de los primeros Mega Man. Pues aunque al inicio tiene un control sencillo es difícil de dominar correctamente, esto se hace más evidente en niveles finales, pero lo mas difícil son los últimos jefes. Pese a ello, diría que es un buen juego. Simplemente me tomo por sorpresa su dificultad. Si eres capas de terminar juegos como Mega Man 1 de NES lo recomiendo bastante. ✅ Pero si vienes buscando un juego tranquilo y chill como Kirby Adventure, mejor busca otra opción ⚠️ --------------------------- Li'l Red is a good and very cute game, but it’s also quite difficult. Its visual style reminded me a lot of Game Boy games. (The game even includes filters that imitate the Game Boy Color palette.) However, the game hides its true nature at first. Despite its simple and chill appearance, it’s actually quite challenging—I'd say comparable to the early Mega Man games. While the controls are simple at the beginning, mastering them properly is difficult. This becomes more noticeable in the later stages, but the hardest part is definitely the final bosses. Even so, I’d still say it’s a good game. Its difficulty just caught me by surprise. If you’re capable of finishing games like Mega Man 1 on the NES, I highly recommend it. ✅ But if you’re looking for a calm and relaxing experience like Kirby’s Adventure, you might want to look for another option. ⚠️
I love it. It captures that nostalgic feeling that I had playing on my OG gameboy when i was a kid; the visuals, the sound, and the feel. It brought me back and made me smile. I'll definitely be continuing my play through. By the way, hard is hard. You will be challenged. I'm glad it's this way lol.
