Fun game with tons of little secrets and backtracking with new abilities. Other than some weird stuttering that happens which seems random, the game is great. A solid 8/10 for me.

June 2024

A solid metroidvania in my opinion, especially if you can overlook its biggest flaw which is the uneven difficulty, in the beginning it is very easy overall. The bosses is a nice challenge but everything else is a piece of cake. That changes drastically as you get deeper into the game, 10-15 hours in this easygoing metroidvania turns into Celeste level hardcore platforming. I liked the platforming challenges mixed with metroidvania but it did start to get just a little bit too hard for me to enjoy it towards the end. Especially getting all the endings made me sweat. The contrast between the difficulty of the beginning and the end really makes me wonder who this game is for, hardcore gamers are going to be snoring for 7+ hours while beginners are going to cry and ragequit towards the end. This game actually innovates the genre in several ways which I feel are big improvements, this is hands down the best metroidvania from a quality of life perspective. Consider this, the game lets you respawn in the same room you died literally one step away from the boss/room that killed you three times. After three you will go back to your last save, this makes it so much more fun to struggle and die. Because death is for the most part not punished, just play the game, have fun and try and beat the challenges. The game also informs you about a lot of small useful things, for example if you lack an upgrade to get across a puzzle room the game tells you. If you don't need to complete certain rooms/challenges to 100% the game it tells you.

Alright, this game is amazing. The bosses are the weakest part of the game sadly. I just wish they had more to them then just "Enemy but big" and stuff like that. However, all the other parts of the game are S tier. If you like Hollow Knight or Celeste, this is the game for you. it has optional Celeste like challenge areas with the most fluid and amazing movement I've ever seen in a metroidvania. There is then the main loop, of exploring a large open world looking for upgrades. This is really open world after the tutorial area, which is great. I found myself getting lost in the world and using critical thinking to figure out where to go next. The story is a bit shakey, but I didn't mind it too much. The combat feels amazing, and the relics and spells feel very fun to use. I must say that there are some absolutely broken relic combos that make bosses a joke. Despite the small gripes, this game is a huge 9/10 for me. If you love metroidvanias, definitely play this game.

Charming little metroidvania with some optional precision platforming. I say little but shit, I've played it for 21hrs, and I still haven't beat it. Plenty of boss fights, lots of ways to traverse. If you love Hollow Knight it's a safe bet that you'll like this game too. Would recommend.

If you love the platforming in Hollow Knight this game is a must buy to scratch that itch while we wait for Silksong. The game is very well made, the combat is ok but not why you buy this game, you buy it for fun and challenging platforming while you explore the world. Few games have the precise fun platforming Hollow knight gives but this game is damn close if not on the same level. Edit: After completing the game the above still stands, but I must comment on some of the more frustrating things, the world is huge, which is a good thing but the amount of different blocks you need some kind of upgrade for is also huge and you have no way to know where exact the specific type of block is. So every time you get an upgrade you need to run around guessing which block is now accessible which takes alot of time just moving around. Also, fast travel to the lesser shrines i locked behind a hidden wall you can get early, but as it was hidden I didnt get it until i was almost done with the game which made it almost pointless, that felt kinda bad. I wont bother with some of the challanges its to much for me at least but the main game has still very good and fluid platforming without anything too extreme. And as a single developer, a HUGE clap to you! Good Job!!
