The game itself is nice and entertaining. The issue is it crashes a lot. I got hit by first crash at tutorial level. Then I got myself in a crash loop, so I can't continue my run. Probably will need to start again. I'm not sure if it is possible to finish the game with this level of crash frequency. But excluding the crashes, the game is nice and entertaining
Absolutely fell in love with this game! It has such an amazing soundtrack that works incredibly well with the beautiful pixel art! The gameplay loop is also really good- I can always get right back in for another run just to relax, I feel like this game could be a timeless one for me, just for how relaxing yet entertaining it is!
