I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game. It's a visual masterpiece, with beautiful pixel art and colors, and extremely fluid animation. The story is also quite touching and kept me engaged the entire time. The gameplay is fluid and fun, and gets progressively more varied and interesting as your kit grows and more enemy types are introduced.

With that said, I do have a couple of gripes. The game can be a bit janky at times, just due to the nature of platforming and movement abilities, but it's not too much of an issue. I have more of an issue with the level design, as you will spend a good chunk of time in this game walking back and forth, and you don't walk very fast. Also, switching between colors isn't the most seamless transition, and the boss fights are kind of abrupt difficulty spikes. But, everything is manageable, and nothing dampened my experience enough to make me not like the game. I think it's definitely worth playing until the end.
