Indie metroidvania with an emphasis on combat and movement abilities.
What I liked:
-The boss battles were challenging but fair, requiring you to engage with the different mechanics such as dashing, blocking, charged attacks, spells, healing etc.
-Moving around once you get a few abilities is satisfying, almost feels like parkour running through the levels doing dashes, dives, flying and running across walls
-Good variety of mechanics that makes each level feel unique
-Nice art, the game looks pretty and the setting is interesting
-Lots of secrets to find with good rewards for those who take the time
-You can customize which upgrades you give your character based on your playstyle
-Some of the music was good

What I hope they work on in a potential sequel:
-The story didn't captivate me, the protagonist feels one dimensional and there isn't much to take away from it
-Although there are a good amount of enemy archetypes that test different skills, they lack visual variety and feel repetitive by the end of the game
-Some of the music was forgettable

Overall pretty good and I'm interested in seeing what the Hello Penguin Team does next
