The gameplay was pretty enjoyable and the running gag of re-entering your name was pretty silly. I still have no idea what’s going on in the story though (oh well). I quite liked the animations of the player character’s limbs, I found that very charming.
The map itself felt a little bit linear for a metroidvania, with very few places to go and explore that aren’t on the main path. I also ran into a softlock where I fell in a pit in the lower cave, respawned past the large enemy, hit the checkpoint just outside the castle by the robot NPC, and found I was unable to break rocks to progress, causing me to have to restart the game.
The game felt fairly fun to control overall, I liked the vine climbing especially. It was a pretty charming little game!
