The gameplay is characterized by a unique bouncing mechanic that adds a fun twist to the platforming experience, though it suffers from inconsistencies and a frustrating respawn system that can hinder progress. Players appreciate the challenging mechanics and engaging boss fights, but many feel that the game could benefit from more polish and a clearer implementation of its various jumping and rolling actions. Overall, it offers an addictive and atmospheric experience, particularly for those who enjoy mastering complex controls.
“Fun unique platformer with the bounce mechanic.”
“A good platform game with a unique bouncing mechanic.”
“Awesome game with a great atmosphere and fun but challenging mechanics.”
“The respawn mechanic is very annoying and forces you to put down a respawn point when before a difficult part, but then if you pass the difficult part, you can't use your respawn point. Once you die, you will have to redo the difficult part. Why?”
“I sincerely wish this had been a strict platforming game, but the frustrating clash of mechanics when trying to balance bouncing with sword-swinging is better off never experienced.”
“There are a lot of different action buttons that are a bit hard to remember and press correctly when you're trying to dodge an enemy, then roll, then combine jumping and rolling into one longer rolling leap.”
