Easier Rukito-style game with a serious but reasonable boss at the end.
Honestly, the platforming in this game felt largely uninspired compared to other Rukito-style games; the gimmicks and triggers were underused and much of it just ended up being unremarkable needle platforming. It's not bad, per se, but I feel like the creators could have done more with it. Like, the gravity apples gimmick is cool, so why is it only used on two (rather easy) screens?
The boss on the other hand was actually pretty fun, though. There's a good deal of RNG, but everything is learnable, and it feels satisfying to beat, with a second phase that isn't a complete pushover. I'd say it's a good deal harder than the bosses in games like IF, FE, 128, etc. though, so if you're absolutely opposed to grinding bosses you might want to skip it.

So I just found out there is an extra so yeah, that's cool lol.
This game is just one screen of some not so hard needle and then a "meme" boss, the "meme" boss is really fun and has a SourPls song!
Would recommend for sure.

An excellent product overall. I appreciate the impressive amount of work that went into this not only from Nemega, but all the community contributors overall. Firstly, the obvious, it is a fangame with a cost on steam and it comprises essentially 3 modes/concepts.
The first is classic fangame style platforming with some roguelike elements. Stages are comprised from smaller segments and there's limited lives and a number of powerups to help you get through. This was probably my favorite mode in the game, though it can be quite short lived if you're not interested in being a completionist. The difficulty ranges from about 30-60 based on the selected difficulty, though achievement hunting can get a bit higher as some of the achievements are quite challenging. The mix-and-match nature of the levels makes no run feel the same, but you will start seeing level repeats so if that's the kind of thing that bothers you, tread carefully. Still, it offers a lot of content as you get through them and if you set goals other than winning (as you'll be able to get consistent at that quite quickly, generally), there's a lot to be had here.
The second is the race mode, which while rare to find games unfortunately, when the community gets together to do some its quite fun. There's a variety of difficulty options here as well to adjust the pace, with harder levels frequently tripping people up or easier levels that its all about going fast.
Finally, the last mode is the magic tower inspired mode. This was by far the weakest of the three for me but its still interesting. The difficulty of this is naturally much higher and cannot be adjusted, maybe about a 60-65 (Difficulty rating based on this, as its the hardest 'standard' content). It is, in magic tower style, with a limited total hp pool so you'll want to balance your ability to take hits, but some of the later enemies have some attacks that feel quite unfair and feels like a grind to some degree. The final achievement for this is quite difficult, and as such if you're an achievement hunter I'd be cautious about going for these, as its probably on par with a game more in the 80s range at that point.
All in all, this package offers a lot (as it should, as a paid game in a genre of freebies), but its worth it if any of the styles of game appeal to you.

It was the most enjoyable in the Hades game I played.
There will not be any more wonderful works.

Superb game with a lot of production value and charm. The metroidvania system of the game works well, you get different items and skill while playing through the game. There also are some secrets. I can't believe it was done in one month
When I saw that I need to go through this game again for my Shortventure challenge, I was very happy!

Really good game, but it has some minuses. I'll just make a small table
Pros:
Really enjoyed first three levels;
All bosses but one Final stage 1 boss were really fun and interesting;
Music and graphics are wonderful, as in all Seph's games.
Cons:
Weapon ammo doesn't refill on restarts. If you use all of it on your first attempt on boss, fight with the default weapon;
Final stages' platforming was a bit boring.
Overall, I enjoyed this game very much! It was a pleasurs to play
