What players say
Very fun adventure and fighting game. Cool morph mechanics. I am shocked it has very few reviews (currently 191).

Incredible game so far. The combat is fun and getting a new boss' power which both mixes up your moveset and aids in exploration is great. If this game was released on the nes it would've been a huge classic. The peter designs never fail to impress/humor and the sountrack and pixel art is great
Good fun, a metroidvania where you beat things up. Lots of creatures with small, satisfying movesets. And what creatures!
