A really good first outing for Evening Star. I'm a sucker for 3D platformers, so I had a great time with this. The physics and movement feel satisfying and on-point, especially once you get a hang of the moveset. The game is at it's best when you breeze through the level, barely ever stopping, not touching the ground with your feet. Fortunately the level design is great and really compliments the movement. Speed is a reward for skillful play. That's how it's supposed to be.

They did what they could with their budget when it comes to presentation. The game certainly is vibrant and creative. I like the whole crayon look they've got going on. The music is great, as expected from Tee Lopes. The cutscenes are where the lack of budget shows, but I'd rather they spend the money on the stuff that really matters. The story in this game is just background noise.

My only problems are the underwhelming bosses (figures) and the occasional clipping issues. Other than that, I'm not disappointed.
