When I originally played this game at a Game Expo, I knew I had to get it on Steam after the fact. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. Very fluid and tight controls that work well both on keyboard and controller, the graphics and sounds replicating the feel of Game Boy-style games, as well as the speed-run levels all add to this game being a great experience and one I could tell had so much love poured into every facet of it.
I honestly think it is an understatement how well this game feels and runs compared to many other small early access games. Hats off the devs on this one. I can't wait to see what else they do with this game and the unique concept it has going for it.

Fun platformer, controls tight which is good considering most indie platformers are floaty, and the levels are well made, especially the race levels. Only wish that we could use the [spoiler] post game secret [/spoiler] in the levels after. On a side note, spoilers ahead: [spoiler] what does pink actually do? Red seems to have a use, not sure what pink does. [/spoiler]

Really impressive movement interactions! I got very excited climbing walls and chaining jumps together with the dash for the first time. There is alot of content here for an early access indie title which is super cool to see! Fun visuals and music too! Looking forward to playing more and seeing what content comes around the corner.

It was a pretty short game, but I love the mechanics. Very confusing at first to try and be that coordinated, but still was very fun. Also everyone being a cute robot is a big plus. Especially the fisherman.
The hidden speedrun levels are also really cool. Personally, I don't think I have the patience to do them but I think a lot of people would. It would be nice to see more of what this game could offer. But having it being short and sweet is really nice, much better than having a long drawn out game.

Played it for a couple of levels and then I could not progress any further and i had no clue what to do. I guess that's it? About 5 minutes worth of play?

Super tight and responsive controls and fantastic platforming wrapped in an appealing retro aesthetic. Tons of care was put into this game to make it look, sound, and read like a game from the 8-bit era, but play like a modern responsive platformer. The palette swap mechanic is slick and adds fun depth to traversing the levels and hub world.
I also appreciate little polish items and nods to it's retro inspiration. I've been loving every second - now back to grabbing the last achievements...
