The hub was a little too confusing. I didn't even know I "picked" a character or where I was even going. I ended up going with the "cactus" and had some issues going through the pipes. When I learned there were different characters I tried the bony fish thing? and that one felt a little easier to use.
I do like the visuals, it has a nice PS1 vibe, and I like how the different characters play. They seem pretty unique
