Honestly? Way better than I initially gave it credit for. I was on and off with this one for a while. But I spent the past few days slowly running through the whole thing and it ended up being pretty fun!

The best way I can describe it is that it's a very watered down, basic cheaper version of platformers like Celeste. Lots of collectibles, cute visuals, with tight, solid controls.

It's a very simple game. You jump and hit things. But the level design promotes exploration and it lets you get new items, armor, relics that give you abilities. There's good variety there. And there is some real challenge as well in the boss fights.

My big gripes are with hidden walls being the norm for finding collectables. Sometimes you can tell they got kinda lazy and just put 2 secrets next to each other. It also ends very unceremoniously. The final level dosent feel very final. Even with the bonus stages, once you see "the end" you don't need to play any more.

It's nothing complex, but I honestly enjoyed it quite a bit. Good if you can get it cheap and want something to pass the time while you listen to something else.
