This is a really unique and weird Metroidvania. But it couldn't be more different from the two genre defining franchises, as it features a comfy island setting & soundtrack with a whimsical, carefree atmosphere. Oh, and PINBALL MECHANICS?! Who came up with that?! It works a lot better than I expected and navigation is a lot of fun because of it. It was an enjoyable experience, but I didn't feel motivated to do any of the side content and focused on the main path for some reason. It didn't quite catch me, which is a bummer, because it hits a lot of the right marks for me.
