Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 61 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (170 of 183 positive).
Players praise the tight controls, great music, and art style. [1][2][3] Many find the procedural generation frustrating, especially in later levels. [1][4][5] Some reviewers note the game is very difficult but rewarding. [2][6][7]

At first I wanted to give this game a thumb up review, it looked like a good indie gem – nice pixel art, not bad music, though platforming. But the more I played it the worse it got. Starting with the best part – platforming is tight and precise, even too precise for my liking. It’s like trying a balance a pen that is just several centimeters too short to be balanced with ease. Games with tight controls exist and …

I'll give a positive review to this game (which is amazing) but still point out some "issues" that I have with the game. It's all subjective, and overall I think those issues will become less and less annoying by just getting used to the game and playing more, but here I go. Procedurally generated platformer : in theory a good idea, in practice ... it has its ups and down. I don't think there's any benefits to the …

A very interesting and neat little game! I think this game is one of the most "zen-like" platformers, in which one of its best features is that you can play it endlessly while also making decisions on the go; since the levels choose different patterns everytime you play them, you can't rely solely on memorization and muscle memory, and sometimes you have to adapt on the go. The soundtrack is very good and even a bit …

Quick Score:5/5 Notes: Really polished speedrunning focused platformer with a ton of replayability in the form of semi-randomized levels and 4 difficulty modes, in addition to an endless mode. Would recommend this game to anyone that enjoys platforming games and is looking for a decent challenge. Clearing Nightmare difficulty is a decent challenge by itself, but on top of that the 25 minute speedrun and deathless …

The platforming in this game is AMAZING, but the procedurally generated levels completely kills it. I hope one day we have a game like this one, but on proper designed levels!

neutral · AI labelView post →with regard to run game, the solution isn't running less. Run heavy is what the offense is. The solution is to block better. Nelson/Zabel switcharoo and Cross injury are disruptive moves. Continuity needs to take root. Lucas a problem (Jones RT when CC returns??)
neutral · AI labelView post →Kind of an odd choice for a remaster tbh. I remember it being a decent game, don't get me wrong, but it's one of those games I ever saw much clamoring for like Battle for Bikini Bottom or, to use a game that hasn't gotten the treatment yet, Simpsons: Hit & Run.

It was fun at first. But the harder/later levels are a pain in the ass. When you get to a difficult section, it is hard to see what you need to do, and instead of being able to go right back in and try the same section again, you have to pray to the RNG gods that you get that section.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played hundreds of platformers, and this is one of my favorites ever, but definitely not for everyone. The most immediate comparison I can make is some kind of crossover between Celeste and Super Meat Boy Forever. Although this is really a pretty unique platformer. I think the thing that made me keep coming back to this, even after having done everything I could, was just how good it felt to play it. The movement has some very minor quirks here and there, but otherwise I think this is…
