Wow what a good game, I'm actually compelled to write a longer review.
--the good--
-Sybil has got cake
-Platforming and movement in general is so smooth and good, it was a blast just backtracking. The many movement options also opened up the game to a lot of sequence breaking and some of my playtime can be attributed to this, because even tho I knew I was going the wrong way I just wanted to prove to myself that that obstacle can be beaten with less upgrades.
-Combat is the same, just so smooth and good, sadly there are only 2 bosses but I guess that isn't the main focus of the game.
-The style is super good, it perfectly encapsulates the retro game feel, while adding a lot to it.
-The music is just phenomenal.
-And these makes the atmosphere amazing too, I just can't really explain it.
-Cheap, like what the fuck how can this game be this cheap.
--the bad--
-Most of my playtime can also be attributed to randomly running in circles, exploration is really bad. Same looking rooms over and over and no clear indication on where you are meant to be going.
-BUT the developer has said that in the next update he will add a map, that will be a good bandage.
-For me achievements are essential to a good game, but there are no.(They will be added in the next update probably too! :D)
-Short.(I guess for the price it is expected, this really isn't a negative tho, with the movement it has some replay value to it too.)
-Sybil rejected my request to sit on my face :(
Overall a very very VERY good game, and for the price it's very worth it! I'd rate it a 4/5, and when the issues I talked about get fixed I would bump it up to 4.5/5.
please for the love of god please Sybil sit on my faaceeeee :(
