I'm generally a fan of bite-sized Metroidvania games, but this one didn't really do it for me. Playing on Steam Deck was a little awkward because the control stick just mapped to the d-pad buttons making it challenging to properly handle up and down inputs. This minor frustration, plus the lack of any real indicators on the map (e.g. save rooms, pickups) made traversal less fun. The bosses are fine enough, requiring some basic strategy to beat them, but the game just ends abruptly once each boss has been cleared, with no real fanfare. It would have been nice to have perhaps one final area that the four bosses culminated in. Not a terrible game, but not something that I'd recommend unless someone was deep into Metroidvanias.
