Wow… quite an incredible game. The lighting and graphical styling is simply spectacular. Gameplay felt incredibly smooth and responsive.
The only critique I have is it may have overstayed its welcome a little bit. Towards the end, I started to feel less excited when I discovered the next bucket, knowing I'd have to drop back down to the bottom. As my run stretched to 14 minutes, the prospect of having to revisit lower sections became less appealing, making the experience feel a bit like eating a whole chocolate cake in one sitting, incredibly delicious and so much to appreciate, but maybe it was a bit too much for one sitting.
Needless to say, incredible art direction. It played much more like an artistic narrative piece than it did a speedrun game however, and I felt more inclined to explore the world and appreciate allthe textures and beauty than I did to rush through it. The sound design was also perfectly balanced and mastered. Phenomenal work!!
