Game is cool. Unique mechanics from what I can see. I play quite a bit of metroidvania type games but not all of them capture me to finish. So far I'm juggling a few different games because of my backlog but the pixel art is good, the mechanics feel fresh when combining them for platforming and reaching secret areas. The gear system seems cool and there is crafting. The auto lockon feature is actually very useful.…

Challenging but very rewarding and versatile. Arriving in the city was a great moment where the game really opened up. I love the different planets and how quickly you get stronger with upgrades. I've played for more than 10 hours now and I'm only 23% of the way through - very excited to continue and how it will evolve. Definetly recommend this game.

The controls are barely functional and enemies deal a truly ridiculous amount of damage. I jumped off ledges and insta-died at least ten times in a row in the third area. You can't pan with the camera to see what's below you, so lots of blind jumping into the abyss. You also lose all progress since the last save when you die. Concepts are poorly explained and virtually nothing is marked or labeled either on the map…
