Neat platformer with imaginative gameplay and visual design. Cool music. Hard, but not too hard to complete the main mission.

satisfying gameplay, fairly iconic as far as indie games go

Not bad. Slippy controls. The hitboxes should be a little smaller. Very short. Some trinkets are tedious. The map is a clusterfuck and warps should get you closer to where you wanna go. But overall preety good.

Too much fustrating game mechanics, but the game is somewhat fair because check points are plentiful. The only issue I have is the wonky new mechanics they add like the string bounce (which just adds a layer of confusion) and escort missions (omega pain in the ass). Most challenging levels are simply confusing level design. I like the simple graphics and just upside down mechanics. But if anything else is introduce, it adds complexity which adds more confusion on top of confusion.

doesn't really do much of anything. its mechanical gimmick offers less depth than bog standard platformer controls.

Why do people like this?

A far more enjoyable experience than I expected going into it.
