Soundtrack is peak. Visuals are beautiful. In my memory the gameplay itself was quite fun, although by the end it got to being a tad frustrating.
But it absolutely needs to be said this game is kinda jank. Like genuinely is there a single person out there who has beat this game on the Nintendo Switch version? Cause I got to a point where it would crash at the 3rd world no matter what and I contacted the devs and they said they'd patch it but it never updated. I have yet to see evidence of that version being playable. I had to buy the steam version in order to beat this game. Tho at least I get the added bonus of being able to buy the OST dlc. That was the one saving grace...
Edit: upon scrolling down I see that there is at least one person who has beaten this game on switch, so that is news to me. Still think it needed to be said. Also yeah that final boss sucks, like jeez.

a game that asks for the insane precision of IWBTG with the bumbling controls of the mario 64 wing cap. truly absurd!
i feel guilty dogging on indie games like this but this one really didn't do it for me. to the game's credit, the first 3/4ths of it are pretty good - zooming through levels is super satisfying, and it's a ton of fun to keep your momentum up for as long as possible. also the artstyle is absolutely fantastic.
it's when the game decides to crank up the difficulty and hit you with frame-perfect jumps and 15 minute levels that shit starts to go south. not to mention that this game conceptually does not mesh well with insane touhou boss fights but they decided to put one in anyway. i think pretty much every platformer i've played has been more forgiving than this one - in later levels you literally need to be perfect at every point, or you'll just fucking die at the same spot over and over.
i'd say to an extent i had some fun with it, but the game gets a lot worse as it goes on. shout out to itchio bundles for getting me this on the cheap though
