It's a sonic-like platformer where you actually forget your playing one. A lot of whats different about this game compared to sonic are very strong and make it different enough to stand on its own two feet. Each character is absolutely adorable and have their own fun playstyle. Very good stage designs too!

Story is you-love-it-or-hate-it territory. It's very campy, quip-y, and has a weirdly noticeable amount of drama. It seems like it was trying to reach for Sonic SATAM vibes in terms of story but idk it falls kinda flat. I didn't mind it much when I was younger, but now I can't take it seriously lol That said, there's a "game mode" where it skips all of the story and just puts you in the game so you have that if you don't want to deal with the story.

Music is great! It stands out in a good way and fits the appropriate themes. Noticeably good ones are the "Jade Creek" levels and "Fortune Night" levels

My main con would be that some bosses feel straight up unfinished. Most noticeable being the battleship boss only having two/three noticeable yet hard to dodge attack patterns. They even *SPOILER** Reused the battleship boss as phase 1 of the final boss lol *SPOILER*

But overall I think this is a great platformer! Give it a try if you like fast 2D platformer games!
