“Solid level design (of what I've played so far), good art direction, solid music, and incredibly fun gameplay.”
“Excellent platformer with fluid movement mechanics.”
“Incredible fast and satisfying gameplay.”
“In the current build of the game, I find some mechanics to be just a little slippery; the game currently makes you wall-run just a little bit too easily if you are in the air.”
“In its current state (2nd of December 2018), it is possible to start levels with slight advantages by walking around the map (exploration mechanic), then move some things around, and then start the level for a slight advantage.”
“But after playing a few maps at a recent gaming event and seeing already solid gameplay, I feel there is a need to focus on making your own path.”
