The game itself isn't bad, but it's too trial and error, when you lose it doesn't save your recent progress and you have to start over. it wouldn't be a problem in itself but since the game is slow it's a bit tiring. I stopped playing after 20 minutes, but I'm leaving the positive vote just for encouragement
A game that seems nice, until you realize that every time you die you go back to the beginning. I played the game and saw the save sign appear 3+ times! Then I died by accident, it happens. Then I find out that the save does nothing. And you have to start from the beginning! (And it also happened another time, not a random bug) In addition, Steam said that it is better to use a controller, so I took my DualSense controller and tried to start playing, and then I find out that even though I managed to press the button that was marked as A (I used X) I find that it is the only thing that works. And everything is marked by keyboard and mouse keys. Nice game, but I do not recommend it. There are much better games also for free.

This game made me ragequit 12 times. Still is a very, VERY, good game... Too bad it is too short. Also, the specs to run this game are wrong, I got an athlon 3000G and a 1660 super and I still was running it at a 22 - 50 fps rate. So you gotta check it again.
