I expected more from this. More abilities, more levels, more enemies. This was a game I was excited about when it got announced, but sadly it didn't live up to its hype. But for a short time, you can have fun. But that's the problem. If the game at least had more abilities, you could have varied playthroughs. But, there's barely any variation. This game was released too early and needed more work put into it. But it does look nice, though.

Competent Kirby knock-off. It doesn't aspire to do anything particularly interesting, but it's a fun time.
It's a short game, it does control kinda weird too, for example, you can't do small jumps, every jump always goes the same height, it's also a suprisingly challenging later on for a kirby clone/parody. At the end of the day I did have fun with it, especially the dialogue, I love tenshi's laugh heh. I went for 100% and I managed to do it, even the achievements, I would recommend this if you're a fan of touhou and kirby, the game kinda expects you to know in advance who the characters are and references kirby a bunch, down to the super star inspired soundtrack. Overall, I'd say it's good, but don't expect a lot from it, it's not very long and it's not super polished, but it's sweet fun from a dev that also had fun working on this.
Basically Super Star gameplay but with Sanae. The music is great too, I hope they release the tracks somewhere so I can loop them. There are a few ~1 hour reviews saying it's a short game, which is true, but most of the content comes from Hard mode, Normal is more like a tutorial than anything, so I'm not sure 1 hour is enough time to really see everything there is. I was able to 100% in about 6-7 hours, some of the achievements are deceptively difficult. Really fun game, and definitely worth it to pick up on sale.
I like it! It’s a fun, cute little platformer with Sanae making for an exemplarily lovable protagonist. As someone who is also a massive fan of the Kirby franchise, it gets a thumbs up from me. I will say though, this game isn’t particularly brimming with content as it’s fairly bite sized. Therefore I do find the 20 dollar price tag to be a bit much for a title like this, but perhaps that sentiment will mitigate over time if new content is planned to be added which will make that price hold more reasonable. Check it out if you can. I think it’s a cute little excursion to sink your teeth into- Especially if you love Sanae like I do!
