This is a very polished game with beautiful graphics and music, a big map to explore, and fluid combat. It's a good sequel to Ender Lilies and also a perfectly enjoyable game on its own. The developers clearly took all the criticisms of Ender Lilies to heart and used that to produce a much more polished game. The weird thing is, I think that polish has also made it lose a little of its charm. The map is so clear and detailed that it's trivial to find every secret and hidden item; there's no real sense of exploration at all, because the game just points out to you wherever you're missing something. The bosses provide a pretty consistent level of challenge, and there are a few that are tougher than others, but none of them get as difficult as Ender Lilies could be. It's a good game, but also serves as a good example of how imperfections can make a work of art better.
Another good metroidvania. I don't like this one quite as much as the previous game, Ender Lilies, but that's just a matter of preference.
Short and good Metroidvania. I would say it's better than Ender Lilies. The music is great as well, and it is an easy 100%. A few bosses can be tricky, but fair thanks to the save points right before them.
