I can't understand the popularity of this game. There's nothing minimally interesting or original about the gameplay. No depth. Nothing on top of the bare minimum of a patformer.
One of- Actually, scratch that. THE best indie platformer to ever exist. Seriously, it's just that good.
Amazing! A love letter to 8 bit NES games (specifically Capcom's Mega Man and Ducktales) with QOL improvements (no more limited number of lives and ammo to deal with!) It also stands on its own as a great game with its own unique world and charm. So fun. The soundtrack is bangin. Don't miss.
