It's kinda alright, but hard to recommend. The art is kinda meh. Combat is a bit weak. Some boss patterns can be fun to work out and learn though.

The game is fun, and a hidden gem in the world of metroidvania games.
That said, I can't recommend it. Reason being, there is a zone in the game (final zone I think (Infested Mines)) that you can access early. Once there without double jump, you can't leave and are softlocked.
It seems the dev was aware of this since 2022 and nothing was said or has been done since.

Nice medium-sized Metroidvania. Beat it on release. Original protagonist and movement system. Recommended!
