This game is amazing. Absolutely blown away by this game!!! It is a challenge but a lot of fun. The characters are so well designed, each with unique techniques that makes the game exciting. The art style is stunning and immersive. And the music? Just very cool and incredible. I am enjoying it. It sets the mood for every moment, whether you are exploring or battling. Great Job!
This game is a challenge to complete but very fun. The graphics are very interesting to play around with. Once you figure out how to move properly the game is fun and interesting.
Impressive design and lots of creative techniques for the playe to use throughout the levels! This game definitely isn't for the faint of heart, as it offers a challenge and keeps the player engaged. Good work guys!
I love the idea, design, music. The controls are very intuitive and easy! After the tutorial i can't climb the obstacle! Keep up the good work! I'll be waiting for the end result!
