The value story

It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Celeste ($4.99, scores 97) and Gato Roboto ($1.19, scores 93) both outscore it.
The drop-off

What players say
I'm at about 75% completion collecting all the babies and bonus levels along the way just to see the artwork of a new area. I keep trying to like actually playing this game every year or so though and have to keep uninstalling it because I have to acknowledge that, "no I am not currently having fun". I truly love the art of Jesse Jacobs and have most of his books on my shelf ready to reread and recommend to friends...
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I really love the visuals and the soundtrack, but I ultimately can't recommend it because the game is broken. So many bugs that I was able to play around, but literally couldn't finish the last, pre-boss level because of one. I've seen this bug reported years ago, so it's not that they don't know it exists, it's that they have chosen not to fix it.
i cant believe these graphics are real. the mechanics and platforming are cool too. levels have a vibe to them that is very unique and "cha cha". i like.
