Considering the games asking price (which is low enough that it practically forces consideration), what you get here in terms of content and style is a steal. As far as what the game is, it's enjoyable but leaves something to be desired. Depth perception is a near constant issue, made worse by how much of the platforming takes place over bottomless pits. The music, while fine, is kind of one-note, the only exception being some corny Toby Fox-esque clown music, and you can't even tune that song out because it's in a level with a rhythm gimmick (think beep blocks). Even after beating the game, the conditions for acquiring the hidden collectables required to unlock the true ending are nebulous; I assume you need to collect all the origami cranes, but one of the levels has more than 500 of them, and I don't feel eager to trawl through the whole space. The look and feel of the game is generally fine, the levels' visual theming is aesthetically pleasing, the character and enemy designs are good, it's well paced, and what core gameplay issues do exist are not particularly egregious. I had a good time with it, but the experience is straightforward enough that I don't see myself getting much more out of it.
