Completion Criteria: Credits Rolled

It's been a while since I've picked up something I'd consider a hidden gem or something I've beaten the algorithm to play (last was probably Helltaker). Sure I've played some less known games before in modern time but I had never seen any discussion of this and seeing the trailer and the reviews on steam being in the double digits, my curiosity was peaked.

WI went in thinking would it would be a nice looking Braid equivalent game but the game plays way more like a good translation of a 3D platformer collectathon onto the 2D plane. A while I was slightly worried at the beginning the controls would be stiff, they really become quite fluid and the slow walk becomes more justified when time trials become relevant. Although I had to think a bit, I had no issues doing what I wanted and finishing up the game when I wanted to. The music is also nice and breezy, in the style of a David wise, and I'll be adding the soundtrack to my personal collection if it's available.

I think the key thing here is the 2D collectathon. I'm always looking for good ones to fit in between bigger games so If you like classic 3D collectathon, I'd recommend at least keeping your eye on this for a sale as i don't think I've found a better translation in 2D. Exceeded expectations.
