very cool game. vaguely "anime fighter" movement with lots of cancel-able options to quickly direct your character. aesthetics that evoke Kirby and level structures that evoke Donkey Kong Country. theres clearly a lot of love put into this game. its also hard as hell. the hitboxes feel a lot less forgiving than most games which sometimes made me a bit frustrated but seeing yourself progress from awful at the game to the first areas feeling trivial is wonderful. absolutely recommend if you can tolerate the difficulty. be sure to get all the gears, the EX levels are crazy

Amazing game.
The obvious is the aesthetics and soundtrack making a cohesive and immersive game. The spritework and art style is just phenomenal. Everything touches the comfort and vague memories from being younger. I never even touched this game I never would have beat it as a kid. Some puzzles are poorly designed, and the combat is difficult while dropping loads of information in such a short time. The games pacing leads to mechanics having little use time and the pacing is the one flaw. The ending was rushed and I don't enjoy being forced to replay and find secret files for story expansion. I wish they were there in the first run through. But the combat is top 5 combat systems in a game for me, it's addicting and I wanted to grind and change up moves. I never do this in rpgs. Story was amazing. Everything cancels out the flaws. would replay in the future.
