music4 positive mentions
  • Beautiful and unique art style with detailed sprites and animations inspired by Indonesian folklore.
  • Challenging and varied platforming gameplay combined with enjoyable combat and spirit companion mechanics.
  • Pleasant and fitting music and ambient sound providing a relaxing yet engaging atmosphere.
  • Floaty and imprecise controls, with some frustrating platforming sections and hitbox issues leading to instant deaths.
  • Clunky menu navigation with no hotkeys or controller native support, causing inconvenient inventory and map management.
  • Steep price at full cost, making it harder to recommend unless purchased on sale or discounted.

    The gameplay is engaging with challenging obstacles and mechanics like wall jump/cling, but it suffers from floaty movement and inconsistent platform hitboxes that can cause frustrating deaths. Frequent save points and abundant healing items help offset some difficulty, though occasional bugs and glitchy hitboxes, especially in boss fights, can be a significant drawback.

    • “Gameplay instantly pulled me in.”
    • “I'm pretty sure this is a mechanical RPG game, with many obstacles that must be passed.”
    • “Gameplay can be rough at times with weird, floaty movement and occasional glitchy hitboxes, but the game provides frequent save points and abundant healing items to balance the challenge.”
    • “Gameplay is where it gets a lot more rough. The movement is kind of weird and floaty, and you don't get upgrades to improve it until well into the game. Platform hitboxes get weird, causing you to die quite a few times, but that's somewhat mitigated by frequent save points. The game also provides an abundance of healing items with no strict limits, although occasionally bugs prevent healing. There's supposed to be a crafting system for these items, but it's unclear how it works. However, the game suffers from glitchy hurtboxes that cause unavoidable hits, leading to some bosses and enemies being able to kill you instantly.”
    • “Mostly that, and the wall jump/cling mechanic was touch and go.”
    • “I'm pretty sure this is a mechanical RPG game, with many obstacles that you must pass.”

  • music

    The music in the game is generally praised for being unique, fitting the mood well, and enhancing the immersive experience with ethnic and ambient tones. While some users note occasional repetitive sounds and minor audio bugs, the soundtrack remains enjoyable and does not become tiresome. However, a few found the music and sound effects less memorable overall.

    • “Sound wise again there's very little to fault here, a few slightly annoying repetitive sounds, a few sound bugs where too many sounds playing at once cut the music in a couple instances, but the music is great, didn't get old, and fits the mood rather well.”
    • “Moreover, surrounded by beautiful illustration throughout and ethnic music, I can enjoy this game very much.”
    • “Cute characters, lovely music, and challenging gameplay.”
    • “A few slightly annoying repetitive sounds and some sound bugs where too many sounds playing at once cut the music in a couple of instances.”
    • “Music and sound effects for this game personally didn't stand out that much.”
    • “Some sound bugs cause the music to cut out when multiple sounds play simultaneously.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are praised for their consistent, charming art style and clear visuals, comparable in quality to Vanillaware titles. While generally flawless, some users find the zoom levels and camera focus occasionally detract from the experience. Overall, the visuals are enjoyable and contribute positively to the game's appeal.

    • “Graphically there's practically no flaws, the style is consistent and everything is usually easy to read even with the 'magic' system spawning a bunch of followers around you. The biggest flaw is that the zoom level and forced camera focus sometimes makes things less pleasant to look at. It's about as close quality-wise to Vanillaware as you're going to get in an indie game.”
    • “All in all, an enjoyable game with nice and cute visuals. Just wait for a discount as the full price may be a bit too steep.”
    • “The graphics are very pleasant to look at.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story is simple and somewhat clichéd, focusing on a clear nature good versus exploitation bad theme with a typical villain, but it incorporates interesting Indonesian mythology in a kid-friendly manner. While the plot lacks depth, it is accessible, with no major missables except for companion choices tied to the magic system. Navigating quests and menus can be cumbersome, detracting slightly from engagement.

    • “The story is simple and nothing too special (nature good, exploiting nature bad), though there's quite a bit of mythology relevant to Indonesia being present and somewhat explained (in a very kid-friendly way), which is definitely not something you see too often and is fairly interesting.”
    • “The story made me curious.”
    • “On the upside, nothing is missable besides a set of companions (which is basically the magic system, getting companions unlocks them as spells which you can equip in 3 slots, no MP system just a cooldown, matching 3 specific ones gets you a more powerful spell on its own cooldown) and it'll be very clear that you can miss them (as in the game tells you "if you take this you can't have that", twice even).”
    • “The story is simple and nothing too special (nature good, exploiting nature bad), though there's quite a bit of mythology relevant to Indonesia being present and somewhat explained in a very kid-friendly way.”
    • “The 'nature good - man bad' plot comes off a little childish, especially with the cliché mustache-twirling villain as the main antagonist.”
    • “Accessing map, inventory, or reviewing quests/new journal entries requires too much back-and-forth navigating through menus; some hotkeys would be much appreciated because it's really clunky right now.”

  • humor

    The humor is lighthearted and enjoyable, featuring cute and amusing ghost characters that add charm to the game.
