I originally bought this title at full price ($4.99). I played about 2.4 hours until I got stuck and frustrated at the very end of the game and returned it. I just bought a bundle that has included this title so I'm finally able to give this game a review!

Pros:
Smooth(ish) gameplay comparable to Mario, Banjo-Kazooie, Metroid, and Zelda.
Heavily borrows many elements from the above games
Somewhat great story
Enjoyable (but forgettable) music
Surprises you in ways you didn't think it would throughout the game
Autojump (for the flying glitch)

Cons:
Too short (and in my experience impossible)
Empty worlds
Too expensive
Rehashed levels and puzzles.
Autojump (for the the times when I really didn't mean to jump or want to fly)

I'll be honest, this game isn't that bad. The game plays very well and I enjoyed it a lot! And to say this game was made in Gamer Maker impresses me! However, this game isn't without it's faults.

The enemies in this game are completely optional to kill. You just need to run past them. I attempted to kill one of them... I finally succeeded, but I wasted about 10 minutes of my time as they didn't reward me in anyway. The worlds feel completely empty with nothing to collect and the puzzles get rehashed over, and over. This game is comparable to Banjo-Kazooie..... that is if you take out the fun characters, objectives, open world, and collectibles. This game also loves, loves, loves, LOVES it's Super Mario Sunshine platforming stages as it throws the stages against you multiple times throughout the game.

This title had it's moments. But the longest stages for me in this game were the times when there were VERY precise jumps that I would have to try again and again and again to make. This combined with rehashing level designs is artificially making this game feel longer.

Oh, and be warned... this game has an auto jump that is comparable to Zelda. But to be honest... I didn't mind this feature too much as I had to do some back tracking as I missed one of the few collectibles in the game as I glitched through one of the early stages thanks to the auto jump. And due to this game rehashing some of the same level designs for a while, I was able to pull this glitch off and skip many tedious parts of the game.

For some reason, despite all of this, I somehow enjoyed the game. Would I recommend this game? Absolutely!....... at a cheaper price. This game is not worth $5. I would only recommend this title in a bundle or if this game goes under $1 in a sale. Just be warned.... there is a glitch at the end of the game that refuses to let you past a endless revolving door after a certain rehash of a certain stage.
