Phew, that was tough, but I had so much fun! I still have some things to go back for to get that 100%.
While there was a clear homage to classic games, I found the puzzles original and enjoyable to solve. It was very rewarding to struggle with a puzzle at first and then come back to it later with an “ah ha” moment. The abilities were also unique and creative. I found the art very cute and charming at first but once I got into Creepy Catacombs, I enjoyed the darker and more striking aesthetic. I thought the dogs were especially neat looking. I also really liked the music in this area. I didn’t expect the story to take such an otherworldly turn but it made things a lot more interesting and made me want to explore more.
I’m not the most skilled player, so I had trouble pulling off some of the more challenging platforming segments, particularly in the Sky Temples. Sometimes I would get frustrated having to try over and over, which would normally turn me off from a game, but I was determined and it was very rewarding when I eventually got it. A lot of the time I just had to take a break and come back to it.
If you’d like to include me in the credits, you can use the name “genderquery” in an azure blue.
Thanks for creating a great game and sharing it with us!
