What players say

It was advertised as a Metroidvania game. It is not. It is a speed runner platformer game that puts your scores on a leader board every level, but for that, it is just mediocre.

Not a bad game but not a good game either. Almost everything in this game feels mediocre but I do appreciate the polish that went into it. Controls feel good but the levels design and platforming combat is pretty bland.
Chicken RPGNot recommendedafter 5.6hNov 2024Read on Steam
Game has way, WAY too many instant death traps. Even with infinite lives, it's too hard.
