What players say

Players praise the writing and humor as the standout, with a story that balances silliness and heart. The core mechanic lets the slug shrink when using abilities or taking hits, adding strategy. Platforming is not too hard but has tricky later sections. Performance bugs are mentioned by a couple of reviewers.
