This game is extremely pleasant to play. The 16-bit pixel art is easy on the eye, and it has very solid level design. It has a greaf balance of platforming and puzzling, with a well integrated overworld and dungeon design. The map is a real highlight for me too, as there are late-game items that make it easy but satisfying to 100% the game.

Despite that, I really had a blast and would recommend if you love metroidvanias and can’t find anything to play. It won’t blow your mind, but it’s a really good time.
