What players say

Players praise the tight controls and fluid wall-sticking mechanics, comparing it favorably to Super Meat Boy and Celeste. The game offers a large amount of content including a level editor, though some dislike the overworld level select UI. There is a noted issue with the Untouchable achievement being missable if amulets are picked up before beating the game.
