7/10 This is how you do Pixel Art Retro Indies! Created by only 4 people, this is a fun and challenging Metroidvania. It’s minimalistic, but has some charm on its bones. 😋💀 The main game is fair, the speedrun achievement is TOUGH! The quality of the music is best noticed with headphones on…I suddenly noticed one area’s music was reminiscent of DKC’s underwater level! 🏆 Pricepoint is great. Looking forward to checking out more of their stuff!

Decent 1-2 hour metroidvania. I'd give this like a 7.5/10 overall. I enjoyed the "single sitting" nature of it. Took me 1.5 hours to complete which is nice if you're looking to play a game without a large commitment. As a big fan of metroidvanias, this game was overally decent. When I think about a metroidvania, I think of 3 things: exploration, combat, platforming. Out of these 3, this game has pretty good exploration, decent platforming, and lackluster combat. Do not get this game if you really need a fix for combat. It feels like any/all combat that's involved is only there out of obligation, but it's minimal and doesn't add anything to the game. Exploration is it's strongest point, which is pretty impressive for such a short game. There is also an emphasis on platforming, and this was a bit hit-or-miss for me. Overall the platforming was acceptable for a metroidvania game. If you're looking for a short contained metroidvania, then I could definitely recommend this game as long as you're fine with a lack of decent combat. Probably grab it on sale to make it worth it since it does only last ~1-2 hours.

This is a good bite-sized, puzzly Metroidvania. There's not a ton of story or world building, but the gameplay is fun and it's enjoyable for the less than 3 hours it took me to beat it. It's a good "pallette cleanser" game in between bigger games.

A really fun, quick platformer. Not an overly "filled out" game, but didn't feel like it was missing much, just a straightforward fun game. And if you really want to get into it you can for the Speedrun achievement, but that's a solid pass from me. Overall it is what it is, a fun, short simple game. 7/10

I wanted to leave a neutral review. The game is one of the more decent 'micro'-vania's that I have played. Movement, exploration, abilities, animation, graphics, sound these are all quite fine. The bit that I'm most hung up on is that the maps could use some better labelling for the doors to different locations. It would also have been helpful if i could toggle which map I'm looking at, so I can work out where i want to explore next and plan my path. I've played a few micro-vania's recently, and this was one of the standouts, but my issues with the map did tarnish the experience.

Short metroidvania with an exhilarating moveset

I forgot I bought this game in a great sale on Itchio. FYI: This game runs GREAT on the STEAM DECK. Had no issues, just installed and hit play. Didn't notice any issue with buttons or text. Really fun, very short metroidvania inspired action platformer. Combat is very basic, and hit detection can be a bit iffy, but if you're a fan of metroidvania speedruns, this game is a blast to play. I beat my first run in 52 minutes, and I'm sure that I could bring it down to maybe 30 minutes without much issue. The platforming can get a little too precise for my liking, but with how short the game is, I can understand why it's made to be so tight. However, any problem I have with the game is overlooked simply by how AMAZING the movement is in this game. The dive is a major game changer, and I'm looking forward to see what other games the dev has made. I really would love some sort of sequel to this game that gave us an even bigger, open playground to use the movement system in it. It's just phenomenal and I hope to see it used in more projects.

Great game. Legend has it my skeleton is still in space.

Short but fun.

Fun but short metroidvania, just what I needed.
