How do you follow up the masterpiece that is Woolly World with... This?

The visuals are the only part of this game that's decent. And they're far lesser than wool.

The level design sucks, the backwards levels, while conceptually cool, are extremely boring, and I've practically never seen a game with collectibles that feel this tedious to collect. This game is a completionist's nightmare, not because of difficulty, but just tedium. I believe 6 playthroughs of every single level is the minimum requirement, but it's been a while at this point.

And for every single run of every single level for the entire game... You have a single, awful song grating against your ears the entire time. Yes... A single song. It's adaptive, at least, changing to fit the theme of the level... But come on...

One of very few Switch titles I actively regret buying, and every time I look at it on my shelf, I can only think, "Why didn't they just port Woolly World?"
