This was honestly a very charming game! While I had some difficulties getting used to the game's unique gimmick (your main method of attack is also your charges for platforming challenges), I did get used to it. The game offers a very intriguing world and story in a nice little chunk of time, and the humor pretty much matches mine. It still seems like I have more to do, which I might consider in the future, but the story alone gave me a satisfying experience. If this wasn't on sale, I'd have bought it for double the base price, frankly. While I see that the dev has pivoted to different, (seemingly) more one-off arcade like experiences, I do hope they consider following up on this game in the future.
