I forgot when I started this, but I got right to one final boss option and just put it down for a month or so, for no good reason. I was enjoying it, I was just done a little bit before the game was.

The boss fights were probably the weakest part, so once I got through all the exploration stuff, I didn't really feel like I had to finish it, even though I was enjoying the story.

I did finish it, though, at least the first final boss option. I did that twice to see both endings, then I went to the other ending section and that area looked to be a perpetual dungeon where the prizes for winning are just... more stuff? But I'm at the end? So I don't know that there's much of a point to that, except to get one more boss fight I'm not going to have fun doing, so I think I'm good.

But the game part of the game was great! Exploration was fun, areas were varied enough, the time travel stuff was fun, and the artwork and music were beautiful. There's a nice variety of weapons to play with, and there are lots of fun combinations to play with.

Everything has a level, the familiars, the spells, and the weapons, but they go fast and you can buy them to more quickly catch up, so it's actually fun to experiment with new tools.

The writing was a little rough here and there, and it was weird to see all the characters have their stories all be about romantic relationships with other characters, but it was fine enough.

For a little independent Metroid clone, this is a pretty good one.
