a really well made puzzle game with some of the worst post game content I've ever seen.
if you want to try this game out, play until you see the credits for the first time and then look up the true ending, actually getting it yourself isn't worth it enough.
the actual puzzles of base game are pretty creative, people who don't like or play many puzzle games could enjoy and beat this one.

bullet heaven with actual bullet hell elements, great music and great art.
a recommend for anyone who likes bullet heavens that are actually hard.

to all of those that were looking for a new shovel knight game that will continue the story, this isn't for you.
to those that were hoping for a grindy roguelite like rouge legacy or hades, this isn't for you.
but to those who were looking for a fresh take on the shovel knight franchise that feels like a spelunky inspired rougelike, this game will be up your alley.

similarly to spelunky, this game doesn't have many items and runs are on the shorter end, which in my opinion is a good thing.
not every rougelike needs to be blouted with items when the gameplay can just stand on it's own.
but if the lack of items worries you about run varaiaty, don't worry, there are alternate levels you can go to and a true ending path, similar to spelunky's hell.

so yeah this rougelite won't force you to grind for 20+ hours just to get a basic stat boost or give you massive plot reveals of the shovel knight universe, but it never tried to do any of that.
the game set out to be a difficult 2d platforming rougelike and it did what it set out to do pretty well.

the reason I wouldn't call the game great even if it is in my eyes, is because of the bugs.
with the 20 hours worth of playing I expirienced 2 bugs, one that softlocked me by pausing the game in the middle of the animation that happens when I sacrificed an acesory to the statue in the second area and ont I'm no tsure is a bug that that made said statues spawn without me doing anything related to the true ending path, giving me the screw driver relic on the third area instead of in drill knight's stage

beyond those bugs, I had a blast with the game and would highly racommand it to any spelunky or rougeLIKE fans

I would of honestly loved to give this game more time but the controles where unchangable on keyboard and both switch weapon and use items were on alt, makign it impossible to use any healing. I know it's a very easy fix but for now based on that alone I wouldn't recommand this game

this is a metroidvenia game that feels like it was made by some people who only heard of the concept and tried to give it a try. I've passed the half way point and 6 areas in the gameply loop is the exact same with not twists or changes. you're told to go to a spesific area, you get a movement upgrade of some kind, you go through the whole area to find the boss, it gives you a new weapon that will be the only weapon you're allowed to use in the next area, you go to the new area which is told to you ahead of time by the dialog after the boss fight and the big red arrow on the map screaming at you "OVER HERE DUMBASS" and the process repeats it self all the way through. all of the enemies feel pretty uninspired with most of them being a shot projectiles are you, melee attacker and a tanky melee attacker you can't dash through, THAT'S IT! and with every area following that formula the game gets real boring and repetitive real fast.
one of the worst moments in the game for me was a platforming chace boss fight for one simple reason.
there's a mechanic in this game that lets you control the frog on your characters her and it has it's own unique movement and platforming abilities.
in that boss fight you HAVE to switch between the normal charcter, which is fater and has an I frame dash, and the frog, which is slower and is larger with no I frame dash.
having to switch between the two of them only to do a charge up move as the frog and then instantly change back and continue running is very cluncky and the boss fight giving you not room for error makes the fight feel bad and unfair at times.

now that I got the pretty mediocre design, I should mention the things I enjoyed.
the platforming, although basic, shines at times which is always a good sign in my book, all of the weapons are equipable at any time and atleast early on, all of them are viable in combat, some of the bosses are pretty fun to fight againest and feel relatively fair, the art has it's moments even when it looks a little childish and crude.
generally speaking I think this game has a lot of potential.
the world itself is intresting in concept and some of the charcters can be actually charming at times, but as a whole I'd suggest getting this game on sale, I did and I feel like the 5 dollars I spent on this are more then enough

game's just kinda bad
