This game is excellent with a very intriguing gameplay model of platforming and pinball. Picked it up for $5 years ago. No brainer at this price

I really enjoyed this game and played it non-stop to complete it. Fun mechanics and easy to pick up and play for just a bit here and there... Though can be hard to put down lol.

This post reminds me to check of there is any news on a sequel lol. EDIT: sadly doesn't look like any info on any sequel and the two main developers have both moved on to founding/working at other companies.

I'm not one to hardly ever comment but when I see this game on here I'm going to encourage anyone who hasn't played this game to get it. It's great and very unique but in a good way. Love it and I hope they will do a sequel one day.

I agree with most people here. It is a fantastic game that didn't get the success that it deserved at its time. For $2 I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Not going to over-analyze this one for 2 bucks. In for it

I had the same experience. Really fun game and a great twist on a pinball style game while not being anything like pinball at the same time. It's really great and for $2 it's a steal honestly.

For anyone who picks this up - do not play before bed, or you'll soon find it to be the middle of the night.

I tried to like this game. The game play is interesting at first but gets really repetitive fast like Ori and the blind forest. Both are popular neither held my interest. If you want a great side stroller have a look at the Trine series it's outstanding.

Don't over think it. Just buy this game. It's a fun twist on the metroidvania genre. I've played through a couple times.
