YES ITS HERE! I'm so glad this game has come out, I genuinely love it so much. It does an incredible job of offering a great experience for new players to the metroidvania genre while still offering enough depth to keep veterans engaged. I hope that Santi continues to make new projects, and that I get the joy of playing through each and every one of them.

It's entirely playable and fine, but it felt like one of those boring itch io metroidvanias. I found nothing about it particularly appealing. Teleporting to your hat is a somewhat cool mechanic and the map is servicable enough. Not an experience worth wasting time on IMO.
I have had some fun with some other minimalistic microvanias on Steam, like [b]SJ-19 Saves the World[/b], [b]100 Pumpkins 2[/b], [b]Kalinur[/b], [b]Omnigon[/b] and [b]Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake[/b], so once in a while one of these cheap little microvanias does hook me, but artistically and musically this was quite bland and I put it down before finishing.

Very cute and fun little metroidvania platformer. The pixel art and characters are charming and the gameplay mechanics are unique and feel snappy. There are a few parts that are quite challenging as well. Definitely worth a pick up if you enjoy these kinds of games and have a few bucks to spare.

What a beautiful little game! I really love the dynamic between Gibson and Viola. It's very entertaining to hear them banter.
The music is great, the graphics are simple but very pretty, and the game's hat teleportation mechanic is very fun and satisfying. The story was very good AND the game is well-designed!
The only thing I wish is that the game was a little longer. (Which is a sign that I was having a good time!) The game is short (like, four areas and one boss short) It does feel like a complete product so I'm not really complaining, it's just a thing to note going in that this is a 2-hour experience and not a 10-hour one.
I really hope the creator will consider making a sequel re-using the same sprites and engine so we can go on more adventures with the legendary girl & hat duo, that would be amazing!!!
Oh, side note: There were a few collectibles that I couldn't collect. They seemed to be impossible to reach from what I could tell. Not sure what I'm missing haha

Great game, loved the mechanics, the story is simple but cute, and the platforming is enjoyable and responsive.
Definitely recommend, absolute steal at this price!
(Less expensive than a cosmetic skin in other games, cmon just grab it!)

Fun game., Good mechanics and story. Cute dialogue. The movement is a little floaty but you get used to it quickly. Took me about 50 minutes to finish the game with 80% completion. Took me another hour to get to 95%. There is a huge gap you need to cross and im not sure if its bugged or im just bad but I was not able to get over it in an hours worth of attempts which is a little frustrating. Overall definitely worth 3 bucks!

Incredible level design and a wonderfully fun core mechanic! I adore the charming relationship between the two main characters, and their art and animation is so expressive! There's a bit of a difficulty spike at one point, but it was fairly late on so I didn't mind at all. Overall, it's well worth the price of admission for a fantastic few hours.

Super cute game. I really like the pixel art, especially the facial expressions. And the hat mechanics are a lot of fun to play with. A nice way to spend a few hours playing a casual game that still has enough challenge built in to keep it interesting.

A two hour budgetvania that prototypes the upcoming throwvania subgenre where you throw your weapon and teleport to where it is. The level design is decent and its remarkably well polished compared to other similar games of this stature. Highly recommended for all metroidvania fans in general, this new throwvania subgenre is off to a fantastic start.
Make sure to add the other throwvanias under development to your wishlist:
