    • “The gameplay is solid for what it is, and bosses are definitely the highlight.”
    • “Each of these locations contains many unique gameplay elements of traversal, which leads you to generally learn new moves each level.”
    • “The mechanics are straightforward, making it accessible for players of all skill levels.”
    • “While the levels and bosses are creative, the mechanics, narrative, and sound could definitely use some love.”
    • “Kind of annoying when you're almost done with the boss and die due to some strange mechanics.”
    • “Mechanically, plushie from the sky doesn't do anything unique from souls-likes or 3D platformers we see today; your attacks and dodges and jumps feel rather standard and, as a result, the game feels deficient in comparison to its peers.”
  • story
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mix of engaging twists and chaotic elements, often leaving players guessing until the end, with some praising its depth and emotional impact.

Overall, the story is seen as a significant aspect that enhances the gameplay experience, despite some jankiness and a few criticisms regarding pacing and clarity.

    • “This game is a lot of fun with a deep/dark story that takes a bit before it takes off, but the payoff is very worth it.”

    • “The way the story is told through the environments and boss fights is so cool.”
    • “The game features a little bit of a story and some smaller cutscenes, but it is mostly nonsensical and has no deep lore hidden in the game. I liked it for that though; it fits the game.”
    • “The last leg of this game was building up for its grand reveal, and while I thought it would go the predictable route, it didn't. I felt like it fell short at the end for that reason, as the story itself really took a backseat to everything else, and I wasn't satisfied when finishing.”
    • “Definitely a souls-like game in terms of mechanics and story, as I had no idea what was going on. I'm not even sure if the protagonist is a loli or a shota.”

Overall, while the game is described as a "buggy mess," it offers a unique and entertaining journey for those willing to embrace its quirks.
