Very charming and cute game with a pleasant visual style and soft palette, featuring a nice variety of environments.
Gameplay is smooth, precise, and satisfying with solid mechanics and enjoyable platforming elements.
Features quality-of-life improvements like lock-on targeting and is accessible with both keyboard/mouse and controller; overall a fun experience especially for a student project.

Game suffers from performance and optimization issues on some systems, including crashes and bugs that can prevent finishing the game.
Combat is repetitive and can become boring quickly, with limited enemy variety and elemental usage mostly restricted to killing mobs without puzzles or deeper mechanics.
Some game world interactions feel pointless (e.g. destructible crates with no rewards), controls can feel floaty or have input delays, and level design issues like strange collisions and enemies shooting through obstacles.
