Expectation: 7
Score: 8.5
I went into this one expecting a precision platformer like Celeste and Super Meat Boy, so after playing the first level I was kinda disappointed when it seemed more like a traditional, level-based, mario-esque 2d platformer so I
was pretty disappointed at first. But then after playing further, I found this to actually be a somewhat unique blend between the two sub-genres. It actually does feel like a precision platformer, but with longer level design and a health bar.
Beyond that, the game is pretty solid. While the grappling controls are a bit awkard at first, once you get used to them it feels good to play. Level design is well done, graphics and music are well done, story and writing is solid.
All around I would definitely recommend this as a weird in-between of Mario and Celeste, and while it's not quite as good as either one, still def worth a play
