Krimson

At the time of writing this review, I still have not finished playing the game. But I will give an honest and positive review. This is my first precision platformer I have ever played and it's quite difficult. But I absolutely love the challenge it gives! Sure it seems that at some points I can't see where the little meatball is, but the aesthetics given are phenomenal! Circle 3 is definitely the trippiest of the circles with it feeling like acid and/or magic mushrooms on steroids. While playing through what I have finished so far, my mind kept wanting to think of the Path of Pain from Hollow Knight (HK) and my reflexes sort of kicked in with avoiding the obstacles. The points where you can continuously jump midair gave me the impression of the "pogo" strategy that's commonly used in HK. The soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal with it's different musical styles throughout the Circles of Hell.

[b]Score: 7/10[/b] [list] [*][b]Art:[/b] The visuals fit the tone of the game well, though they lack variety. The choice to include a rainbow-colored stage is certainly interesting, but it comes across as odd and somewhat out of place compared to the rest of the design. [*][b]Music:[/b] Excellent across the board. The industrial metal soundtrack is energetic and perfectly suited to the gameplay. While most tracks are instrumental, the few vocal tracks stand out as highlights. [*][b]Story:[/b] There’s no real narrative to follow. [*][b]Gameplay:[/b] Overall, the gameplay is solid, with a good variety of level designs and boss encounters. A few sections feel poorly designed and can be frustrating, but these are the exception rather than the rule. [*][b]Accessibility:[/b] Virtually nonexistent. There are no visible options for adjusting difficulty, gameplay settings, or color accessibility. [*][b]Other:[/b] Every time the player dies, a loud noise and flashing screen effect...
