This is a half-assed puzzle platformer. You can't buy it any more, but if you could, don't. Don't even play it. It takes some characters with unique moves from other games, they don't gel together, and it's an annoyance to have to try and plan by trial and error how you're going to make it through the level by combining their skills. Level design relies too much on careful timing, forced continual movement, and invisible synchronisation,, for example e.g. having a flying character fly from A to B to C to D to E while flying high enough that another character who will in future, when the clock winds back, hang onto them in a way that doesn't get their feet caught on spikes. And again, thinking of the future, you have to leave enough time for the passenger to jump off at B, C and D to do something else then jump back on again, so in reality there need to be lots of flights between A and E, so the passenger has several opportunities to jump on, but not too high, not too low, and you have to get that perfect before you first attempt to be the passenger. If it doesn't work out, if the passenger can't get where he needs to, you need to wind back and redo all of the flying again. It's just a pain, a chore and an incredible irritant after you've had to do it 20 times. The basic premise is that the other characters often "clear the way" for the main character, but most commonly they clear just their own way, passing through obstacles, then the main character has to pass through the same obstacles. A cheap way to get you to do the same problem multiple times. Add to that that the game is buggy, and if you're not careful you'll clip into walls, or sometimes you'll fall through a bouncy thing, and it's a wonder you can make it through at all. This is what platformers look like in hell.

간단하고 편하게 즐길 수 있을거라 생각했지만, 불편한 조작감과 버그, 판정으로 스트레스 받는 게임. 저같은 도전과제 강박자들은 하지 않는게 정신건강에 좋음. 장점 1. 단순히 귀엽게 즐기려면 OK 단점 1. 매달리기나 함정같은 판정이 너무 이상하고 타이트해서 스트레스 폭발. 2. 몇몇 캐릭터들의 불편한 조작감 3. 후반으로 갈수록 난이도가 오르면서, 풀고나면 즐거운 어려움이라기 보다는 짜증나는 스트레스성 어려운 퍼즐들이 많았음.

I have enjoyed it. Each character has their own unique and helpful abilities that match their abilities and mechanics in their respective games. (Making the puzzle platforming a bit like Thomas Was Alone.) And the way time rewinds so that you can play alongside previous characters' actions makes it really feel like all these indie game characters are working as a team (especially how the Badlands character can fly while carrying others). There are also some really cool moments. The first Braid level was pretty cool as they have the exact same time mechanic as in that game and it actually worked, and the level art and particle effects look like Braid too. Dustforce, BitTrip, Super Crate Box, and Badlands's characters I also know are faithful to their games' mechanics. The teamwork involved in running from the first boss was pretty well-designed and epic feeling. If you like collecting things, there are a lot of trophies to collect hidden in each level, each with symbols/characters/items from the indie games. I am also a sucker for the 2d platforming, floating island theme, and indie games. I got this game I think for free a while ago and am just going through my backlog, and I have found that I like it. If you're considering buying it though, honestly your money and time may be better spent elsewhere. I'm not sure if you can even buy it anymore though as the developer may have removed it due to the poor reception :(. I thought it wasn't that bad though, and it has some heart to it. I think the developer may have even added some characters from some lesser-known, less iconic games (The Great Jitters: Pudding Panic and Tiny & Big in Grandpa's Leftovers?), ones that they were just fans of, which is kind of cool.

Just finished the whole thing and I gotta say: I dont really get why it has that many negative reviews. Was kinda skeptic to this game when I saw it only has 50% positive rewievs, but was pleasently surprised when I tried it on my own and had a lot of fun playing it. Not gonna lie, this game has some issues but nothing that terrible (through out the whole game I got stucked like 2-3 times that made me restart the game cause I couldnt do anything, once I somehow got into wall then like 2 weird teleports into nowhere and thats it - with quite a lot of checkpoints not a big deal) some animations aint that smooth and sometimes rare visual glitches. But overall its a nice platformer game with multiple well known indie game characters thrown together into one game to help this cute cat defeat his enemy. Many levels with great design, puzzles and trophies to collect. If you are into platformer games and get this one in some sale or bundle, you will be happy.
