   This game is a perfect example of what a high-quality and interesting game of this genre should be. And for me personally - one of the bestThis game is a perfect example of what a high-quality and interesting game of this genre should be. And for me personally - one of the best and favorite games in general of all I've played. And I only relatively recently got acquainted with such games as platformers and indie games.
   ...
   1) Metroidvania/platformers at its best view - collecting items, searching for secrets (finding a couple of secret bosses), several side-quests, upgrading your character and weapons, returning to past locations and places previously inaccessible for visiting, smooth and responsive controls.
   2) "Pixel art" - it's just really nice. There are no particularly beautiful details, but as for one person as creator, and for this kind of game - it's on a solid quality level. In fact, in many places it is even more than “just nice”, and it is clear that the author has tried his best, and loves his project.
   3) Music - it's amazing. Very often, the sound of the locations is quite simple and quickly gets boring, but no less often - it is a very pleasant and catchy melody, even if it is "pixelated", so to speak. Each voice acting of the battle, dialogues, events, some zones is ideally in its place. Especially one particular melody that you can listen and listen to for a very long time after the game... in the game's album it is called Moonlight(VS Ivory Beast). This melody is simply a masterpiece.
   4) Bosses - All, except for a couple of the latter, are not particularly difficult, right after you understand "which points to hit", but all of them are unique. And all of them are interesting. There are more than 20 of them, but it's even interesting, I wanted to find the next boss as soon as possible.
   5) Plot and dialogues. That's it... here is what can be called the cornerstone of the game, for which it is definitely worth buying. Starting to play, I thought about another story about "good and evil" or something like that. But the further you go, the more seriously the story of the World, characters, their relationships, problems and their solutions are revealed. The author wrote that he made the plot of the game as it was created, without a script, which inspires respect for how it turned out. Excellent presentation of various aspects of politics, religion, philosophy, personal problems with finding oneself in the World. And the dialogues and humor ... well, they are quite simple, but at the same time very "comfortable", or something like that.
   ... Just one person, albeit after many years, created a game masterpiece that can be advised both to game veterans and to those who are just getting acquainted with games in general, or with the platformer genre in particular. This is no less than 10 out of 10.
   ... The only thing that I really didn't like was the "pyramid-headed sisters". This is a twin secret boss that is inadequately hard(accidentally or not). In a small room, without dodging, the player will suffer especially in those moments when one of them is preparing to make a strong attack, and the second one will run to hit you... 100% of receiving damage at your face. But since this is a secret boss, rare to find and not mandatory - for me it will not affect on the rating.… Expand

   Pros:
   +Great boss design, no two bosses feel the same and they are all high quality.
   +The art looks amazing. +The difficult puzzlesPros:
   +Great boss design, no two bosses feel the same and they are all high quality.
   
   +The art looks amazing.
   
   +The difficult puzzles aren't needed to progress but are all tied to collectibles which aren't needed to progress so you can choose to 100% the game if you like the extra difficulty or try for a straight completion if you just want to enjoy the game as is.
   
   Cons:
   -The objective hints can be obscure at times.
   
   -picking blocks up requires you to stand on top of them which can be frustrating at times.
   
   -sometimes it is hard to tell that you aren't doing a puzzle properly because it is hard to tell if a block won't fit through an area or you just keep missing it with your throws.
   
   - certain time constraints on certain puzzles are really tight requiring pretty tight movement.… Expand

The game iitself is good but what it tries to do is too confusing and basic, the history has many flaws and could be reviewed for a better storytelling, this is not a metroidvania because it only touches itself at the concept, the gameplay has way too much flaws once you get deep into it.
   
   I would play the game again for the art itself, it's enough to make the game positive in my opinion and the developer should be proud of what the game looks.… Expand

   Despite of that, it has some flaws which can't just be overlooked because they're way too obvious.
   -The exposition: In a game like this is not whise to leave important parts of the story or lore on notes where the average player tend to pass by, considering the huge amount of text it has on cutcenes.
   -The hell is ivori?: it is not told, you have to asume it's this game's oil (fuel)
   -Character swap: The very first time you change the character to play is in a damn boss fight... who does that!?
   -Speak!: There are moments where is obvious that Robin has something to say and gets ruined by the "Silent protagonists syndrome", she has expressions and even poses according the moments, the avatar thing is not OK here.
   
   Overall i can recommend as a evening game. A little too long for it's own good, a little too confusing if you casually play it.… Expand

   The game gives a great first impression with the bright colorful pixel art and fast breezy gameplay, but it quickly goes downhill. The storyThe game gives a great first impression with the bright colorful pixel art and fast breezy gameplay, but it quickly goes downhill. The story and characters are just god awful, and there's way too much of it. After about halfway through the game I started skipping the cutscenes just to get it over with. It's way too grim for the setting it's in. And the writing just feels...off? Like it's not from a native speaker. The collectibles and upgrade system are very disappointing. There's no reason to explore or collect anything, as the "tweaks" system is almost completely useless. Seriously, I ignored it after awhile and had no difficulty finishing the game.… Expand
