Decent little 3D platformer, though not without issues. Glitch killed my run, got stuck in pause menu. Does not seem to have too great keyboard support, I guess menu is only navigable with controller. But had fun that little time I was able to play it.
Reminded me of those games I used to get from Huvi and Hyöty-roms, same kind of charm, just in HD. Maybe not as polished as Nintendo platformers, but I'm way more nostalgic of those weird auteur games from yesteryear.
Every level introduces new mechanics and those mechanics are pretty well thought out. Game also teaches you mechanics via transparent tutorials. What it forgets to teach though is control layout.
There are some balancing errors i think, like cactus could take longer to grow back. Also auto aim is sometimes off, though rarely in any place where it matters. You can trust that when tongue has to find that flying thingie to connect, it pretty much always works. Some levels drag bit too long. Few bad collisions. Once respawned water again and again, but was able to recover with tongue pull.
All in all, fun little experience, I guess I have to try it again with controller.
Thank you for very good feedback! The game is also soon in Steam Early Access. Would appreciate similar "review" there as well. ;)
