This game is incredibly fun to play. It is one of those games that it can be pretty hard to get through the first couple of run throughs, but then afterwards it is just super fun to speedrun. The music and art are really epic and the mechanics are really easy to understand. Probably my favorite part of this game was the strategic use of mechanics such as the mushrooms and bones to create really enjoyable sections. All the people who made this game are absolute g's, and who ever made this banging music is bustin >:).

Disregard the other comment. This game is dope as fuck and feels like a labor of love. I love the art direction and the music is even better. Dashing around is really fun especially if you have an attention span longer than a 5-year-old and are willing to wait for the bones to regenerate after you died. The game was engaging from start to finish, and while it may not have reinvented the genre, I personally enjoyed it more than most platformers I have played this year.
