Flawed and chipped, but a gem, in it's own way.

Beat the whole thing in one go, since I was not sure if it had a save function. Turns out it does, presumably after beating an area.

Tutorial almost put me off due to how bad it was, but there's a bit to enjoy here.

The game has no difficulty curve, more or less. First stage will be a showstopper for most people, but if you can make it past that, you can beat the whole game. IMO game caters to masochistic players, since a lot of attacks can be very hard/impossible to avoid. First stage started to click once I started using dash more and bouncing off enemies to other platforms.

+ Good OST
+ Varied levels/bosses/enemies
+ Well priced
+ Easy mode, although it limits content if you use it

* Story is ???
* Got used to keyboard controls but they are questionable, gamepad is recommended

- Rarely unclear hitboxes, sometimes even unfair
- Some jank
- Explains very little about obstacles/some key mechanics
- Design often expects you to get hit and then just remember to avoid that later (similar to rage games)
- Checkpoints can mess up your run if they are placed in a bad spot, somewhat avoidable by your own actions but not always
- Final boss is next to impossible unless you realise dev hid heals inside cracked blocks, looked this up myself


"Fun" to play through if you don't mind getting tested at every opportunity. Though first stage is the hardest, some others still put up resistance. My actual playtime is around 6h on Normal.
