I did not expect this.
This game is incredibly good: gameplay is stellar, soundtrack is awesome, characters are funny and memorable AND devs are so awesome they're actually adding new campaigns for free! Yup these guys add entire DLCs without charging a dollar!
A 100% buy, definitely worth it's price.
Oh, have you spent your childhood playing 8-bit, 16-bit platformers? Then it's 200% buy for you!

[EDIT1: To address "game is too hard" reviews]
Come on guys, game gives you infinite lives, most stages have 4+ checkpoints, you have quite a few tools which help you tackle any situation (even invincibility-on-demand item). Old 8-bit games were way less forgiving than that and we still managed to beat and enjoy them.

[EDIT2: Friendly advice on Plague of Shadows]
To my brethren alchemists: a good chemists takes his time to brew a perfect potion! Tweak your bombs and choose your skills in accordance to the situation at hand! And don't rush in like some blue headed fool with a garden tool!

[EDIT3: On Specter of Torment]
YCG once again outdid themselves!
The DLC is on par with original. The story, gameplay mechanics and music are all stellar. I also found it more difficult (especially the NG+) which is a plus in my book.

[EDIT4: King of Cards]
King Knight is a jerk.. goofy, with fun move set, but jerk nonetheless..
I really like the decisions devs made with this campaign:
- shorter levels with focus on a single mechanic
- less hit points (challenge!), but compensated by enemies dropping hearts on 3rd hit
- bosses getting extra phases once reaching certain health thresholds
- more great music from virt
- the card game feels like a nice distraction (also totally optional if not your thing)
.. and a great story\char cast is still here

On Showdown:
Probably a single thing I'm not a fan of.. I do like the moves and animations of the characters, yet this mode feels designed exlusively for coop, playing single on hard is a misery.

Quality puzzler, short, challenging and fair, but the atmosphere... let's just say this game is not going to cheer you up (not by a long shot).

An OST filled with tranquility.. An integral part of the game, also very enjoyable outside of it.

Clever little puzzle game, most certainly worth its price!

Surprisingly great game!
Know this: you'll have to follow the story closely to get the very best experience from this game while overlooking occasional quirks with controls.
Also avoid spoilers!

But no matter what happens next, don't be to hard on yourself.

I can see how this game is 10/10 for many people, but I actually enjoyed the "Transistor" more.
Still this one is solid.

Awesome Portal 2 mod!
Totally worth playing!

Challenging!
Fans will enjoy tough puzzles (seriously, some are extremely hard) and new story (again, you'll have to be invested and read through all the texts). Verdict: great DLC!

PS: just a nitpick: wish there were more new music tracks and more narration.

I honestly can not find a single thing that's wrong with this game. Touching store, immersive atmosphere, beautiful music, clean and colorful graphics, thought-out gameplay mechanics - it's all here. Wish it was a bit longer though (no wonder, it's just so well made game, you can't get enough).
Consider getting this game (along with OST) because it's worth it.

PS: I hope the creators use this settings/world for another spin-off game or something.

A Masterpiece of an OST
