A throwback to the classic Donkey Kong Country games by Rare, and the more recent releases by Retro.

This is a linear run and jump platformer with collectables and hidden challenges in every stage, and a protagonist who controls like Dixie Kong did in DKC 2/3. Several stages have Wild Masks that change your moveset, from swimming to flight to super-challenging auto-running.

The pixel art is gorgeous and smooth, and it's very easy to tell foreground from background and know what's happening at any given moment.
