So I've had this kicking around in my library for ages and finally decided to try it tonight. So far, it's a solid little platformer with some interesting game mechanics, such as the ability to use an afterimage of your surroundings to move around more easily. It also has some decent challenge to it. The controls handle smoothly and all in all it's put together well.

The one quip I have with this is that the graphics look very unprofessional. The background clashes stylistically with the tileset used for the foreground and it looks like it was just slapped together. The main character's sprite looks like a heavily edited trainer sprite from one of the Pokemon games, though it's clear a lot of work went into it to allow for the range of movement that's animated. Still, the look is very off-putting.

However, I'm going to go ahead and recommend this game because even if it doesn't look all that great, it delivers where it matters - in the gameplay.
