Wow, the game is really amazing and challenging!
It was a fun experience, I like the movement and jump controls. Very cute and amazing art, sound, and music, really creative use of metroidvania elements such as dashing, drilling, and hooking. Not to mention the collectable items with unique lore.
For almost an hour of gameplay, I managed to collect 2 gems. I have no idea where’s the last gem was.
The only complaint I have is the convoluted controls. The combination of hooks, dash, up-dash, pickaxe, and drill are amazing. But when you have to use them choreographically to reach certain places, that really gave me brain aneurysm, I can’t count how many times I pressed the wrong button when doing updash-hook-pickaxe-dash-drill, then fell to the pit. Not to mention the grappling hook had to be aimed at a pixel-perfect angle in order grab the purple block. But that is probably a skill issue from my side.
Overall, 9/10 - would buy on Steam
