DoubleShake wasn't on my radar at all but I quite enjoyed the demo! It's a PS1 throwback 2.5 platformer, which shamelessly lifts the quest structure and 2D plane rotation from Tomba, the enemy-assisted double jump from Klonoa, and the grab and shake mechanics from Mischief Makers, combining them into an easy-breezy whole which sees you criss-crossing various islands in search …

Movement's quick and playful, and the Tomba style of exploring 3D space through differently-angled slices of 2D feels unique since we almost never see it in games anymore. Could turn out pretty good if the level design stays fresh across the whole thing!
