wish i could 'meh' this. fun as a collectathon and mechanics are decent, but this is a hard recommend after a while for players who aren't self-driven to completion for a couple reasons:

1) enemies are insanely spongy to the point taking one of the perks completely devalues fruit based combat in favor of quick captures
2) sponginess seems unable to keep up with, forcing you to prefer abandoning runs when too far from the next 'quest' rather than continuing your current run and routing. the game is pretty easy initially but eventually hits a spike where the sponginess compounds this severely (usually around 500 patches seen ime).
3) not enough diversity in mount powers
4) not enough diversity in powerups (in this case fruit + plants, but game could probably be a lot more exciting with more significant and wild powerups, similar to isaac)
5) post game is a bit annoying in terms of collecting remaining mounts, pets, and pins

however, as someone who generally likes roguelikes and collectathons, this game was def hard to put down. would be super hype for a sequel that could meaningfully address the above issues
