This game just OOZES style. You're very hard pressed to find truly unique platformers nowadays, but this one definitely hits the mark in standing out among it's contemporaries for it's deceptively simple yet rewarding platforming and incredibly well thought out level design. Each stage iterates and expands on the one that came before it without feeling dull or sluggish for it's 5 world run. Maybe slightly jank physics, but nothing that can't be out maneuvered by clever play.
If I had one thing to complain about it would be the unfortunately simple and challenge-less bosses, thus why this game is only 4 stars. With a movement gimmick as free flowing as a grappling hook, the bosses were pretty underwhelming and nothing remotely ground breaking. There's a lot of room for improvement and iteration in the sequel which I will definitely be picking up!
Overall I really enjoyed my time with this one, I even completed all of the bonus stages which is something I rarely do.
