Engaging and fun gameplay with satisfying and fluid controls that improve as difficulty increases.
Excellent art direction and unique aesthetic blending 2D and 3D styles, complemented by an outstanding soundtrack.
Well-designed levels with balanced difficulty, innovative boss fights, collectibles, and strong replay value including speedrunning potential.

Lack of controller support and awkward default key bindings impede gameplay experience for some players.
Some minor bugs and camera issues, such as occasional freezing during asset loading and inconsistent camera movement when jumping between platforms.
Early levels, especially the first one, feel less polished and slower paced compared to later stages, and some later levels have messy or overly long design.
