Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The pace of the gameplay thankfully means you don't lose much (if any) progress, as you're constantly replaying the stages and honing your skills until you can finally beat that dang crab!

Controller support works fine, but you have to use the toolbar options rather than the in-game options.

Really amazing platformer with a very specific charm you can't find anywhere else thanks to the graphics, music, art direction, and fish.
