A nice 2D platformer with pretty average writing. The level design was very interesting and explored mechanics a lot, with thought put into how to make them puzzly. SOME of the bosses were pretty fun, others were average.
A solid action platformer. Nothing more needs to be said. It's exactly what it looks like.
