if this game taught me anything its that getting depression is hard but beating it is easy

Oct. 2024

One of the best 2D platformers available on this platform. Really tight and responsive controls, simple, but touching story, that balances being dark and sad with a great amount of humor, and really neat world building. Overall, just a very well-rounded underrated game that everyone with even a passing interest in platformers should try!

I need to play it more! As a spiritual successor to Super Meat Boy, I think it very much succeeds. I like it a lot, stylistically and gameplay-wise! It is, unsurprisingly, difficult. But like, in a satisfying sort of way, as you would probably expect! This game gets a dragon rating of -1/10 because there are no dragons in it, and if there were dragons, they would probably have cancer or be dead :(

Still playing. Amazing game if the types of games you like are the ones that make you throw your keyboard out of the window and then be angry at the nonexistent entity that screwed up your jump. Definitely recommend

Aug. 2024

this game is just cruel its a platformer that feels infused almost entirely with hate. The world is a toxic decrepit wasteland of tumors, destruction and lost souls. Each level feels made to cause immense suffering both with how claustrophobic some pathways are, but how jank the solutions sometimes are. This game illicits alot of strong emotions our of me. Its so overwhelming I don't want to try and continue just because the topics and themes are just so much. Would reccomend tho, 9/10 gave me more to talk about at therapy
