Wow, this game is really good. Definitively not something you'd expect to see from a month of development, even from Mattin. He really went beyond himself for this one.
This has the same great production value I've come to expect from Mattin, and it really nails the "spooky castle" atmosphere everywhere. There's a lot of different enemies and gimmicks that come together to make the platforming interesting, most rooms end up feeling very unique. The HP bar definitively helps to make all this work together, as you never feel afraid to take a risk and get close to a new enemy, or do a jump more quickly without too much fear of failure. All the little details are great, too: stuff like the kid's gun needing to reload after some bullets, the Iron Maiden teleporters, all the backtracking being fairly painless, etc. Finally, most of the bosses are fantastic too, and are the highlights of my playthrough for sure.
I do have some slight hiccups with a few things, but they're pretty minor. I thought the final boss felt slightly rushed on the main attacks (the intermissions were fantastic), one boss in particular seemed a lot harder than anything else this game had to offer, and the hook mechanic was a little too finicky at times for my tastes.
That being said, do not let this detract you from playing this game. It's a wonderful experience and you will not regret the time you spend playing.

Another phenomenal production by Mattin in his classic style with the Shortventure theme. Dark atmosphere with a castlevania inspired aesthetic filled with twisted enemies and environments. Arguably a lot more linear than many of his previous works, that distinction doesn't hurt the feeling of exploration you get investigating the little world he's created here.
A variety of platforming gimmicks and obstacles keeps things fresh and a few interesting encounters keep this not-so-short shortventure interesting and exciting. This game is very accessible to new players and quite lenient, yet with enough dynamic interactions to still keep a more experienced player engaged - its easily recommendable to anyone who likes adventure games.

Had a really good time playing this, I had few issues with the game but most of them where fault of my bad PC mixed with some of Mattin's coding.
Every part of the game was fantastic, the backtracking is not annoying, which is a great thing because in some metroidvanias I find backtracking tedious. The bosses are not too tough, yet they can be interesting because of the bosses being unique, fun to play, and each boss having a different memorable atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend from newcomers to veteran players.
