When I finished Touhou Luna Nights, I basically told myself I would follow this developer anywhere they go, even if it was a series I had very little familiarity with. So when I saw this game, of course I played it as soon as possible. It also helps that I've always really liked Jack Frost's character design even without playing any MegaTen games.

As I expected, a great, short metroidvania with really cool and fun mechanics that help it stand out, along with really great music and incredible pixel art. I wish this could have been a full game the length of Luna Nights, but I found myself engaged with it the entire time. Also it's really interesting seeing all the little things that were taken from here and improved greatly in Luna Nights, as well as the little ways they show Team Ladybug establishing and developing their own great style. I'm absolutely going to go back and play at hardest difficulty, great game.
