Jogo brasileiro bem gostosinho. É essencialmente um metroidvania então tem todo aquele lance aprender habilidades pra liberar novas áreas, itens escondidos nos cenários além de um humor bem besteirol que eu gosto bastante. Precisa prestar bastante atenção pra encontrar segredos e alguns itens necessários pra zerar, o que pode ser um pouco frustante, mas eu curti demais. Complementando, o jogo tem um modo de customização que funciona como se você jogasse em um portátil, podendo pegar adesivos pra colar na capa e deixar mais estiloso. E ainda é bem baratinho então vale super a pena.
Short but Sweet

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
it is refunded for now because i cant play with the given key bindings, i tried and even got past the first boss but my hand hurts. please add rebindable controls, i would purchase this game immediately even if its not on sale because i really want to play this since i enjoyed what ive seen so far a lot. edit: hey, thank you for the response! i understand that you are a small team and have a lot to care of so no worries. in all honesty i would like every button to be remappable. i cant play with arrow keys because i have issues with my hands, so i always use wasd. i usually remap the attack button to j and the jump to space but as long as the buttons arent next to wasd i dont mind them being anywhere else.
Charming journey throughout, an absolute delight!
"No cômputo geral, Raider Kid and the Ruby Chest cumpre perfeitamente tudo aquilo a que se propõe. É uma aventura de bolso incrivelmente bem arquitetada, divertida e viciante, que equilibra a frustração típica dos jogos antigos com as conveniências do design moderno."

Outstanding!! While not super long, this metroidvania absolutely nails everything that matters, such as map design, puzzle design, enemy design, boss design, and importantly controls! What little writing there is is even genuinely funny. This was the most unambiguously positive gaming experience I've had in a while.
Bom jogo. Para aqueles que adoram jogos antigos especialmente no estilo GAMEBOY é um prato cheio, com uma dificuldade um pouco acima da média, mas mesmo assim vale a pena. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores.
Beautiful streamlined vania. delightful and just the right length
A short, fun metroidvania. No unnecessary dialog. Good difficulty level. Some bosses took a few tries but were manageable once I learned the patterns.
The early dialogue set my expectations low, but the bosses and level design are just fantastic.
