Some of the platforming challenges are a little too reliant on spikes with disjointed hitboxes that kill you instantly, but with a generous checkpoint system even that is rarely an issue.

The combat feels a little sluggish or basic at first, but once you get the feel of how to quickly access abilities to react to the environment and get a few upgrades, it flows really well.

The story and voice acting are so, so good. A setting like the one this game has is too rarely touched upon in popular media, and the world is portrayed in such an awesome way. A truly beautiful tale of grief, purpose, and life.

In a desperate effort to bring in new ideas to the platformer genre, the designer created a glitchy mess that is borderline impossible to control at times. The stages range from single-screen affairs that are can be merely annoying but are sometimes fun to large stages with scrolling that love to ask the player to make blind jumps and punish them for not knowing death was waiting for them.

The soundtrack by Disasterpeace, however, is very good (and the main reason I tried it in the first place).
