Impeccable game. I'm not usually into side scrollers but this one hooked me in. From the amazing soundtrack, satisfying platform puzzles, varied enemies, interesting level designs and enjoyable boss fights. Can't find a fault.
Incredible game! Killing enemies and bosses is super satisfying. The difficulty is just right, even for a casual player like me. Yes, there are one or two tough bosses, but if I can beat them, so can you. Beautiful pixel art graphics and vibes. It's extremely puzzling to me that the recent ratings are "mostly positive", this is one of the best games I've played!
honestly i am enjoying the game, but i simply can't leave a positive review for a game where the devs are ignoring bugs as simple as achievements not working for things like counting a number of kills. i'll turn this review into a positive if they can issue a fix.
