I AM GOING TO ALICE
Had a lot of fun with the smooth gameplay progression of this short and compact version of Ribi Rabi, which also borrows some mechanics from it such as the combo system and collect a ton power ups... until you get to midway with the weird loop where you essentially do a pseudo new game+ to do new events and unlock some leftover areas.
Balance seems to be broken, at the highest difficulty you can become a glass cannon that can end any fight quickly but some enemies can still one shot you.
The forced enemy encounters were not fun for backtracking either and should've stayed permanently gone after you've beaten them. That and the obscure way you have to do to get the true ending loses points for me. A shame since it's one of the most polished and clean looking 2d side-scroller indie game I've ever seen.
Not a fan of the haphazardly done anti-escapist ending either.
