Inescapable

TL:DR version: read the bottom line. If you grew up playing old school games like metroid or similar "metroidvania" games, or just simply enjoy those types of games you may find yourself looking at this game with curiosity. I certainly did. I will tell you now, that you will likely be disappointed. The game itself is not terrible, though it doesn't really standout, or even stand-up to those old classics you may have played and thoroughly enjoyed. You will probably not get that proper feeling of nostalgic satisfaction, as this game does not have much in terms of content, no real upgrades, and very few secret or 'extra' things to find, which in my mind is the core part of any metroidvania game. None of the sort of hidden things are cool, or interesting. There are also no bosses. That's right, you simply fight the same enemies throughout the game with no real challenge, no climaxes. The story itself is ok, but the final nail in the coffin of this game is the ending (no spoilers)...you essentially suffer through some bad level design, and ok gameplay to reach what you hope is some sort of epic, or at least intriguing/satisfying conclusion...instead what you get is, not a bad ending, not an unexpected ending, or dissatisfying ending storywise...no, what you get, is essentially an insult for finishing the game. It informs you of something that most of us already know about playing video games in general. It has nothing to do with the game. I have to say that with that ending, this was in fact the most dissatisfying gaming experience I have ever had. That is saying a lot. I have played thousands of games over the years, and plenty of them were not very good. But the ending to this just leaves an absolutely bitter taste in your mouth. I have to say, I beleive that is exactly what the developer intended. Don't bother spending a cent on this, unless you enjoy torturing yourself.

Entertaining and had lots of potencial. I find it sad it ends on a sour note and that i completed this game in only 2 hours. Was worth it though. Maybe would be cool if this was a phone app instead?

Finally got around to beating this game. Some of the mechanics were a bit annoying, but I found it overall to be alright. Even though it has mostly negative reviews at the time of writing this, I'd still give it a chance and try to play at least an hour of this game before jumping to conclusions.
