“One of those indie games like Shovel Knight or Hollow Knight where as soon as you finish it you decide whatever the studio makes next is a day 1 purchase.”

“A super cute game with really fun yoyo mechanics, a nice vibrant urban setting to explore, and just an engaging world that rewards exploration, experimentation and trying different varieties of yoyo attack and traversals. Had a lot of fun with the game and 100% it in the end.…”
