100% by collecting everything.

Not only the visuals are stunning, but so is the gameplay. A great (short) metroidvania but sadly it has some flaws which keeps it from getting a 5/5.

My thoughts:
(+ = (mostly) positive; - = (mostly) negative)
+ Gameplay;
Solid gameplay with nice progression. You get more agile over time, but it doesn't really feel like you get stronger as well. That doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, but something to keep in mind while playing.
One thing that bothers me are the escape sequence parts. I dig the idea but the execution isn't as great as hoped to be. Some parts it feels like you have to die so you can prepare yourself next time knowing what will come. Also some parts you rely on enemies attacking you to continue, but sometimes it just didn't work because they were too late to attack you. Things like this really ruin the flow of the game.

++ Music;
Perfect ambiance music fitting the scenery of the game.

+++ Graphics;
Every screenshot you would take is just stunning. One of the prettiest 2D games I've played.

+ Story/Characters;
A simple but interesting story. Perfect for me, just like how Metroid does it.

Recommend?
Yes if you enjoy metroidvania games. Might even recommend if you never played one and want to give one a try.
