The luchador theme and setting are really charming and unusual for a video game, which really draws me in, but the game design feels only so-so. It's not bad for an indie game when the wave of indies was just starting out, but comparing it to other metroidvania/search action games doesn't do it any favours. Your powerups are bland and most of the optional exploration just nets you money which isn't terribly useful. I like the idea of the beat 'em up style combat juggling combos and chaining together moves, but spend a great deal of time frustrated because when the camera is zoomed out to the moon I can't see which direction I'm grabbing in.

Never played it Co-Op, and I do wonder if that enlivens the experience.
