“Action metroidvania 101. This game is well-made, funny under every aspect, without excelling in any. A textbook example - especially given that it came out before many other similar games. Combat is made of few moves,…”
“A classic of the genre and a must-play for every Metroidvania fan. Great combat, a well-designed world, beautiful art style, funny dialogue, and an interesting story. On top of that, there are tons of secrets and easter…”
“Sharp movements, funny story and moderately challenging. Couch co-op feature makes it a perfect 2 player platformer.”

“It was a very good metroidvania game. The combat never felt boring and all the mechanics iterated on itself. I found myself wondering how this game can get harder and as I played the enemy variety changed, and I had to…”
“[h1] Don't buy this if.. [/h1] - You struggle with difficult side scrollers. Some areas are easy. Others are pretty brutal like old school gaming brutal. - Don't like text only dialog. - You're not good at very precise…”

“A great cool metroidvania with Mexican theme. I don't know any other metroidvania games which use Mexican culture as a basis. The game feels very fluid and fun. You can do great combos. It has a very fluid combat…”
“An old gem of an instant classic in the metroidvania genre that really holds up for its age. Amazing art and sound design. Fun fighting game style combat system, and some clever difficulty curves with enemy…”
“I'm quite a bit late to this one, but I'm glad I got around to it. This was genuinely fun. Art style and music were great, and the movement/exploration were pretty good. I enjoyed the combat and the various mechanics…”

“Good game overall but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that final boss fight is maybe the worst designed fight i have ever had the displeasure of fighting in a video game”
“Personally I didn't find a reason to keep playing through. The gameplay was fun until it got annoying.”

“6/10 Fairly decent, an issue I got is that the game suddenly gets very hard near the end even tho the rest of the game is fairly easy, otherwise it's good”
“A nice short-ish metroidvania with a solid artstyle, good movement/combat options and decent music. Story is pretty basic, but the overall flow is actually not bad. Sometimes I felt like the areas were too large (mainly…”

“This game has no right to feel this good to play. Every punch, slam and uppercut has that [i]chef’s kiss[/i] impact and the platforming puzzles are just tricky enough to make you feel smart without making you Google a walkthrough in shame. It’s colorful, funny and surprisingly…”
