Probably the best indie 3D platformer puzzle first person shooter visual novel game I've played.
The gameplay is amazing, it feels and controls perfectly and the effects especially by the end of the game are just pure fun. It's easy to get the hang of, but it still feels rewarding when you discover some unusual solutions. Level design is insane and despite extremely rapid pace you (almost) never get confused. Visuals are great, soundtrack is great. Everything is filled to the brim with adrenaline, fun and goofiness.
Yeah the writing is cringe sometimes and the characters are cliche, but it doesn't annoy me and even fits the game really well, because it's silly and innocent (like in Night in the Woods and not like in David Cage's games) and full of sincere nostalgia and love for the pop culture. Plus the voice acting is perfect for these characters and the visual novel elements are well executed and sometimes even feel a bit satirical.
Actually the game is full of little nostalgic pieces, all the stuff from 00s games like the ghost playback, prizes in secret places, leaderboards, hub zone, medals, pushing player to replay levels hundreds of times... Parts of the game also remind me of CS surf maps and other parts of more recent Clustertruck.
This is such a fun game and even after completion I want to replay lots of its moments.
