STORY
An excerpt from our lovely(?) Zooka.
"Hi beauties, Zooka here!
Our planet is suffering right now! Our source of power and magic, the Waterfall of Dreams, has been stolen! High up in outer space, the waterfall thief has it all to himself; someone must stop him! To reach him, you must gather all the Star Badges from its base! But I fear the residents aren't too happy about the missing waterfall...
Unfortunately, I can't do it myself. My specialty is intelligence, so I'm not fit for field combat. My big brain is a metaphorical weapon, not a literal one. And no, I am not a suitable weapon! However, I offer personal life advice, and special facilities that help improve oneself and their skills! Aren't I so great?? Now go bring back the Waterfall of Dreams, while I assist from the backlines!
...don't look at me like that! I'm helping tons with things like onboarding and education..."

This game is really interesting in how it handles the map and movement physics to allow a much greater range of traversal and combat techniques. The stage select screen including challenge maps to help teach more advanced mechanics is a nice touch, and so it each level indicating what times to aim for if you plan to speed run any levels. Cute critters with overwhelming power often make for fun characters to play as, and so far these two are no exception. I'm interested in seeing what new badges and abilities will be available as I get further into things.

i'd recommend this game to anyone who likes kirby games, it boasts a similar vibe and easy gameplay while also featuring hard to master mechanics. the gameplay is exciting and satisfying, the dialogue is funny and the presentation is charming. also this game wastes no time, everything including starting the game up and jumping into the action is as quick as can be.
my criticisms would be that it's shorter than i wanted it to be and the bosses don't feel like they pair well with the gameplay (but that's unfortunately normal for platformers).
i'd call this a great game. a low quantity high quality experience i'd recommend to platformer fans and i think there's a lot of potential in the creator(s) behind it.
