A charming look into hell.
Playing it tested my patience, and my thought process. I enjoyed its atmosphere and 8 bit aesthetic to an extent, but this was mind numbingly hard. So difficult in fact, that it makes sense to be as sharp as it is. This game is incredibly short and needs to keep the player on a consistent learning curve that way it takes endless hours to complete, rather than a few hours. The game will outlast you as you try to master its blueprint.
In the end, I think its sheer difficulty and unforgiving nature outweighs the desire to master it. I’m glad to have played it, and see one of the cornerstones to the platforming genre!
