As a fan of metroidvanias, I loved platforming with the spear and the cozy feel of the environment. Just like with most metroidvanias though, I died a lot and got lost after beating the second boss. After playing for a while, I started getting really comfortable chucking the spear around and found that you could defeat enemies really quickly by throwing the spear near them and then immediately doing 2 melees which is a little faster than 2-3 melees.
Overall I really enjoyed the game and if I was better at it I'm sure I would have been able to experience a few more powerups and quests outside of the seed one.
