Really good game despite the abysmal production value.
The star of the show really is the writing here, the humor felt on point and got a nice amount of laughs out of me and I thought it was very reminiscent of Undertale on that side. Story-wise it had some decent plot points as well, I think overall the setting is interesting and unique, but at times it can read a bit like tumblr fan-fiction (which depending on the person doesn't have to be a bad thing, personally I do think it's cute).
Gameplay-wise it's not great but I definitely wouldn't call it bad either, it plays slightly different from most plaftormers by having a bunch of rechargeable jumps and floaty physics on top of a good amount of combat, it's certainly not boring but at times it can feel a little out of control.
Ultimately still had a really enjoyable time with it, I wish the sequel will happen eventually because this is just really sweet and fun.

I wish you could speed through the script a little quicker... sheesh.

Fun story and gameplay.

Quick and easy 100%... although it definitely took me longer than it should've.
