Bricco goes to a very odd school...
Building a mini atomic reactor reminds me of the story of the Radioactive Boy Scout. Not sure if this is a deliberate allusion or not.
I liked the music, but it was horribly glitchy on my machine. Not sure if this is a problem on my end or not.
The pixel art graphics are really nice, especially the character work, though the graphical artifacts sour it a bit. The upskirt is pretty WTF though.
The dialogue sections need some QoL work. The type on sound is pretty shrill, and some sections move too slowly (though this might be a glitch). I ended up skipping through most of them.
For the most part, the platforming mechanics were smooth. Once I figured out how critical the power dash was the game made more sense. On the other hand I'm not very good at platformers and I found this one super hard. I like how forgiving it is with checkpoints and respawn but I still gave up a few screens into the secret lab.
One thing that still needs improvement is the camera. When it works it works well, but there are some segments where it isn't where it needs to be or awkwardly snaps back and forth.
I was not able to play the original version and I don't know how much was added after the fact, so leaving a rating doesn't feel right to me.
