Nintendo fanboy with an Xbox Game Pass addiction.
I took a happy ten year break from gaming when I met my wife who doesn't play, but now my kids are into video games so I'm back into it.
I heavily favor rhythm games, fighting games, and platformers.

The best indie puzzle platformer I've played to date. Even better than Inside and Limbo. Completely satisfying when you figure things out and it never feels like you're struggling due to bad design or controls. The rules change in build on each other in ways that keep it from ever getting stale.
The only thing lacking is the story, which I'm pretty sure developers might believe to be one of the most deep and profound stories ever told, but mostly you're just a little bug astronaut hauling around magic marbles and that's still very fun.

Even by kid game standards this is very bad. It feels like a rough draft of a video game. My six year old seemed to mostly enjoy it but even my nine year old only took 30 minutes to decide this was not worth playing due to how weak the controls and animations are. Has glitched to the point of needing to be reset multiple times.
Even as sloppy as this story is, this is the format ALL fighting games should use for a story mode in addition to arcade modes. The idea of building a story around jumping from character to character for 3 or 4 fights at a time is such a fun way to test them out even if the story is weak.
