An incredibly good platformer that needed some extra time in the oven.
The gameplay fundamentals of this game are some of the most enjoyable I've seen from a platformer in a long time - it's all about learning how to optimize your movement and getting a feel for the controls. Save for some minor grievances with control feel and wishing there was a bit more variety with level structure and bosses, the main thing that I feel could dock this game some points for people is the lack of polish. There are a few bugs that can lead to death, which I can see frustrating people. They didn't bother me too much, but I'd hate for a very fun game's reputation to be soured by something like this when it's overall quite good.
