Enjoyment 5/5 - Really enjoyed this one. Good feel and vibes all around.
Execution 4/5 - some puzzles might have been a bit obtuse but most of the game was good
Sensory 4.5/5 rounded to 5 - I liked everything except the title theme, down to the squishy lil shape.
Metroidvania - 4.5/5 rounded down - It's at least MV-adjacent as Leap Year--maybe a bit more since there's technically one upgrade with many facets, and Leap Year just gives you the whole from the start. Pretty close but not quite the full thing to me. Scratches the exploration aspect itch though.
Minimalism 5/5 - Good use of the everything.
