Aug. 2024

Really fun platformer with a unique zoomed-in style. Everything seems large and up close. Lots of level and mechanic variety. Not as challenging and mathematical as Celeste, but a very fun and addicting time. Great upgrade/collecting loop that encourages multiple trips to a level, but doesn't completely send you up the wall. Fun boss and unique boss fights as well. Also, the music is GREAT!! I've been humming the main track a lot, feel like i'm losing my mind. Though, it lacks variety in bangers like that. All in all, if you like platformers, you'll probably like this.

July 2024

I've been playing (according to steam) 7.4 hours. I've enjoyed every single of them. The game is love letter to the 16bit and late 2d games of the 32bit platforms. It has very simple controls which reminds you of Super Mario World (the jumping feels a bit diff), and every now and then you will have some gimmick on the levels which keep the gameplay fresh, most of them are "mini-levels" which also help to reduce the stress and give you some relief of the actual platforming levels. Graphically the game is outstanding, the music is a great companion to the game overall. Besides the tight and nice controls and the diff gimmicks on gameplay beyond the platforming the level design are fun and interesting to play through them. You will find also several reference to some well known games and other to that known, alongside several collectables which will unlock some minigames/features and upgrades for your Mago. Now some more objective comments: I can't say anything bad about the game, probably my only complain would it be the design of the overworld feelis a bit empty or incomplete, like if they were planning way more than they delivered. The jumping feels a bit *almost nothing laggy when trying to change direction middle air, it makes the game a bit difficult in some areas but its something you get used to and there's not a lot of levels where you can get an insta dead for that. Feels the game is not quite optimized (or maybe it was my laptop/cpu but I didn't have this issue with other 2d games), sometimes I have to turn off the fullscreen mode and turn it on again to have a smooth framerate, mostly this happen because I switch from game window to some other window and return back to the game. There's a lot of hidden stuff in the levels, but mostly are behind a destructible wall after some time/levels this start being a bit repetitive, not quite bad but at some point you will automatically start hitting all the walls. Overall: A great 2D platformming (not precission platformer) game for the modern day, with little to none metroidvania elements which is something I really appreciate because not all indies must be a metroidvania.

The game is a charming little platformer and the pixel art is pretty, but be advised that there appears to be no Steam Cloud support. Playing a save file on Deck and trying to go to your PC to continue it or vice versa will not work smoothly.
