Miwa: The Sacred Fox

This is maybe the worst game I've ever played. Starting off, the spritework is stiff and lifeless, only having a few sprites for our protagonist for the whole game. The jumping physics are absolutely pathetic, feeling like a Castlevania style weighty jump in a game with platforming that tries to imitate the likes of Cave Story or Mega Man, as every single obstacle kills you in a single hit if you so much as scrape it. The level design is horrible, never telegraphing anything you're supposed to do and either simple or frustrating at every point. Your moveset is agonizingly simple for the vast majority of the game, and by the time it finally becomes more complex, the game breaks You get a simple dash and that's it for a while. Then you get a charge-up super jump. You can charge that jump in the air. That means you can *fly,* completely skipping all the awful level design in the game There is never a sign of you hitting something or getting hit, and every fight feels super limp. Alongside that, the hitboxes are broken; every attack only works incredibly close to you, despite your striking range appearing to be very long. The backgrounds are absolutely stunning, and the music is spectacular; however, that is ruined by the atrocious sound design of actual attacks and the even worse spritework. The game will have obstacles and platforms that appear as if they're apart of the foreground or background, completely invisible to your perception until you actually get screwed over from them. One hit kill stalactites will spawn in out of nowhere and kill you for walking wrong. DO NOT play this game PLEASE
