Really nice looking game and it plays fantastic on the Switch, but its way to.short and the backtracking is anoying.
A very enjoyable platformer with creative stage design and memorable boss battles, it also has heavy metroidvania exploration elements mixed in through combat & ability upgrades. The art direction is gorgeous, the music is toe-tapping, and the story is funny and light-hearted.
The only negatives relate to the fact that the game is the product of a Kickstarter campaign that didn't meet all its stretch goals for content development. It is slightly on the short side, and suffers from some pacing issues in later stages as a result.
Score: 8/10
