This game was made by one person, which is a monumental achievement. The gameplay leans more on the retro side and didn't click with me the way other recent Metroidvanias have.

I appreciated the inclusion of relaxed mode, as I wouldn't have been able to finish the game on normal difficulty. The name 'relaxed mode' can be a little misleading. Even with damage turned off, I wouldn't describe this as a relaxing game.
