At first i thought this game was gonna be an easy 5/5. The platforming felt really smooth, the levels had inventive mechanics and i was always anticipating what would be introduced next. Combine that with a really neat presentation and artstyle (the music is really good too) and you have a winner package, right?
Well, fast forward to the credits, and i felt the game missed way too hard with the bosses; They are kinda cool, but each one of them represented a huge spike in difficulty, demanding a lot of precision from the player, despite the controls and mechanics themselves lacking the finnesse to provide that precision.
Don't get me wrong, i still think this game was worth the playthrough, it has a lot of heart and good ideas, and the platforming levels itself are wholly enjoyable. Its just the boss encounter feel misguided and not aware of the limits of the game's systems, and they fail to play to the game's strengths, kinda souring the whole package experience by the end.

Short and sweet platform game where you drill through things. It's sort of zen-like in the first couple levels until you get past the first world. It's really a game that tests your execution and precision with movement. It's got a pretty sick art style with impressive pixel graphics and animations. It's also a fresh can of new jams.
If you want a platformer then you can't go wrong with this one. Especially since it has a demo.

Uma aventura sólida que, em seus melhores momentos, remete a Donkey Kong. O visual é maravilhoso e eu amo como ele trabalha com a variação de mecânicas. Inclusive, acho que poderia ser um pouco mais longe para aproveitar ainda mais todo esse potencial.
De toda forma, jogo extremamente divertido e com uma trilha sonora animal!

way too short for its own good, and the bosses are nothing great, but it's adorable and controls realllly nice, with a few really neat gimmicks and secrets throughout
hope to see more from it in the future

It's a fun, short adventure that I wish had more upgrades/abilities to round out the moveset. Beautiful graphics.
