    • “The gameplay is good, the story is epic, and the art style is cool!”
    • “The gameplay is quite fun, and can be addicting (very speedrun-able).”
    • “The fast-paced, rhythm-based shooting mechanics, alongside the unique shine ability which can deflect, steal and protect from enemy bullets work together to create a game that feels very reminiscent of being on the receiving end of a 'Touhou Project' boss' spell card.”
    • “The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design: 'show, don't tell.' You'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written visual novel text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is extremely unpolished.”
    • “My biggest takeaway from the gameplay side of things was that it was trying to do a few too many things at once.”

    • “The music was okay I think, I honestly can't really remember it, but it didn't really grab me.”

    • “The story was all over the place and made barely any sense.”
    • “The plot is pretty goofy and thrown together with stuff very much 'just happening', like it was written on the fly, but it's absolutely not taking itself seriously and it isn't too intrusive with some jokes here and there.”

  • replayability38 mentions

    The game is generally praised for its high replayability, particularly appealing to speedrunners and completionists due to its engaging mechanics and short playtime. While some users note a lack of additional modes or difficulty settings that could enhance replay value, many agree that the game's charm and fun factor make it worth revisiting. Overall, it offers a satisfying experience for those looking to improve their performance or explore different strategies, despite a few dissenting opinions on its long-term replay potential.

    • “What I can say about this game is that each component of it is meant to keep you constantly engaged with how the numerous systems are stacked upon each other (quick movement, rhythm-based shooting, reflection and timing, etc.), and in that regard, Ledgehop does it well that before you know it, you're too caught up in the velocity you've actually finished the game, which has a very reasonable length for its price, albeit with extremely high replay value.”
    • “The game is pretty short, but it's absolutely worth the dollar, mechanics are great, there's a ton of replay value, and it's just a fun time all around.”
    • “After that, this game is great for budding speedrunners or completionists, as the game is highly replayable, pushing you to figure out better strategies (or cheats).”
    • “Perhaps the biggest downside to this game is that I don't think I can argue for its replayability.”
    • “Not a whole lot of replayability other than speedrunning.”
    • “Little to no replay value.”
  • character development16 mentions

    Overall, the character development is praised for its depth and uniqueness, with many reviewers highlighting the strong writing and appealing designs. While some characters, particularly Chizuru, stand out positively, there are suggestions for further refinement in the character designs.

    • “If you're familiar with Touhou, some character designs may be familiar.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    Reviews indicate that Gamemaker Studio is often associated with the creation of low-effort, retro-style games that prioritize profit over quality, leading to a perception of it being a platform for "shovelware" and cash grabs.

    • “Gamemaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
  • atmosphere2 mentions

    The atmosphere is engaging and enjoyable, largely driven by the fun and whimsical nature of the cheesy anime girl story, which effectively immerses players in the experience.

  • stability2 mentions

    Overall, while the game experiences some minor glitches and stability issues, many users still find it enjoyable and recommend it.

  • optimization2 mentions

    The game's optimization has been criticized for consistently running at a low 24 fps, which detracts significantly from the overall experience despite its engaging mechanics, art, and music. Many players feel that improved performance, ideally at 60 fps, could elevate it to one of their favorites.

    • “I really wish it didn't run at a poor 24 fps at all times. All the great mechanics get lost when the game looks like a slideshow. If it ran at 60 fps, it would be one of my favorite games. The art is great, the music is fantastic, and the story is funny and engaging, so it's really sad that the bad performance halts the whole experience.”
