What players say
Cute game that will keep you entertained for a day or 2. If you like Aquaria you'll like this one even though there's more fighting, but also more puzzles. Graphics and music are great, controls are interesting, game difficulty gets easy if you collect a lot of stuff, the progression feels like you're getting more powerful, which is good. Very nice!

A criminally underrated game made before the genre started to get red hot with myriad releases per year. I tend to think Ori and Hollow Knight overshadowed other games like this for whatever reasons. Play this game on intermediate if you want to go through it in a more streamlined way, don't hurt yourself advancing, and this becomes a beautiful Metroidvania that covers the sea like few others do. With 4K the visuals...
Pretty decent. Highly similar to Aquaria in theme and mechanics. Just as unlikely we'll ever get a sequel though.
