I really loved every second of this game. The art, the music and even the gameplay really impressed me. Everything feels so meticulously placed and thought out. I can't believe one person made this game. The true ending really surprised me and I hope we see more games from Billy someday. Platinum was easy and very fun.

I'm impressed with how engaging Animal Well is while purposefully relying on a limited vocabulary. All it needs are a few switches, some levers, water, spikes, bubbles, a map, some aggressive creatures, and an inspired toolkit. I was pleasantly surprised by some multi-room puzzles and how Basso conceived of boss fights within the language of the game. Best of all is the lighting, which literally makes the game shine and is important to moving through the world.

This game has an atmosphere and aesthetic unlike anything I've ever come across. It's very hard to put down once you get fully immersed into its meticulously crafted ant’s nest of a world. A true rabbit hole of secrets upon secrets that continue way past the initial playthrough, with tight platforming and clever puzzles to boot!
I would've loved for there to have been some background lore to discover, but sadly there doesn't seem to be much.

Billy basso went big mode. Such a rich Metroidvania adventure with zero handholding. I mean rich with secrets that are just as fun as the main content. Seeking out secrets is key to the adventurous feel of this game and the secrets are always justified by its rewards that meaningfully upgrade your arsenal. This game is so pretty and it sounds phenomenal. Every single puzzle/room feels so well designed and creative that at points it match classic Zelda dungeon design and I was just so floored. I love you video game dunkey

Is such a weird masterpiece
This metrovenia is filed with mystery in each room each corner it’s marvelous in every possible way charming Pixel art and crazy outstanding puzzle
you are lost with no clue nothing to give you a hint an anyway no words nothing in this scary gloomy beautiful world of mystery this is a new metrovenia take a lot of people will feel lost a lot of time but actually you are never lost thats the beauty of it
You keep looking for clue everywhere every corner in each room and trying to use whatever items you have and the moment you unlocked something you will get the sense of satisfaction you craved for
there is no right or wrong way to move and explore the world
The level design is in another level
Overall it’s beautiful niche puzzle game that keep you in your toes all the time it might not be a game for everyone but if you get into it you will be rewarded with such a remarkable charming little game that will be remembered
