It came as a surprise to me how much I enjoyed this metroidvania. The game is amazingly well-made. You start off super powered down, the cultists who bring you back from the dead sending you into the world with only your bare-boned fists to fight with. The game is rather challenging at first, but as you start to level up things start to pick up. There are lots of secrets to find in the game, lots of exploration. One minor gripe is that the map is almost completely useless, it gives you a very vague sense of where you are and does not have a lot of detail to it. I found this more frustrating toward the end of the game when I was trying to plot out where I could find more secret areas. But it ultimately does not take away from the fun of the game otherwise. I recommend for enthusiasts of metroidvania or platfoming games for sure!

A fun and silly mini-MV held back by bad map and clunky gameplay.

Now this is a Metroidvania. Lost constantly until I got the lay of the land. Hidden stuff out the butt. Juvenile humor. They don't make'em like this anymore. I would highly recommend this if your a veteran of the genre. The slow movement (until you get the dash ability) and cryptic nature of the map may be overwhelming for those not accustomed to it's more old school sensibilities. But this is truly a hidden gem.

Small sword = bad game design. Sorry. And I am confident in my genitalia size. Edit: Thanks for the response dev. I'm happy to hear there is more to the game than what I saw. The problem is you are forcing me to play with the very unfun weapon in order to get to the fun part. I recommend all weapons to be fun in their own way even if not quite as good in future games to avoid having players disliking the game early on.

It is a funny short Metroidvania. I would recommend it in general, with two big BUTs: 1) It is obviously very buggy. For example [spoiler]when an enemy is at the end of the screen and you move to the next screen in the same direction while the enemy moves in this direction also, the enemy will sometimes follow to the next screen. Good to see at the two lower rats above the castle entrace; sometimes killed enemies respawn immediate, sometimes only a second time, sometimes steadily until you leave the screen; one time, the plant boss didn't stop the first attack pattern and fired bees until it was dead[/spoiler]. 2) The most important, playtime vs. price, is very very low. That is always a problem with Metroidvania games, but this one is also lower than most of them. (Took me around 10 hours inclusive some short game pauses to get all achievement and items, aslong there is not something very hidden, so effectively around 1.6 €/hour to current full price.) So I would strong recommend to wait for a good offer. It makes fun, but not for long.

While I do wish keybinds could be remapped, this is a simple, charming little metroidvania with a good variety in the upgrades and available weapons. Didn't regret it for a moment.

First off, I love the artstyle and super f with the music... feel like people aren't appreciating the soundtrack (funky post punky shi instead of same old chiptune). Gameplay wise, I really like how weak I started out vs how much stronger I got... I almost quit at the beginning because I was dying so much but that's what made finally powering up feel so good. In the later game, some of the solutions to the "puzzles" or secrets were really obtuse and I had to look at a map. Which is fine. I did find the majority of secrets on my own. Final boss was a sponge and I didn't quite use my brain so again I had to watch a video online to see what to do... maybe I'm dumb but I would've liked maybe a bit more hint. Wasn't able to afford the red helm and ran out of food on the map, would've liked to have seen what that did but oh well. Really hope the creator of this game makes more of this kind of thing. <3

Really liked this. Found some of the controls a bit tricky e.g. double jump. Loved the artwork/style

Short little metroidvania with a strong emphasis on exploration and plenty of chances for sequence-breaking. Also, great music and bad humour
