It's genuinely fun discovering all the movement tech in this game, from the powerups you find to the "hidden" advanced moves you gain from some abilities. The movement tech provided to you feels similar to fighting games in the way you need to learn specific timing and some button combinations to optimize getting around and finding secrets. It feels like you can sequence break your way through a ton of the game, and whether it's intended or not it is satisfying. Beating the game isn't very difficult, but beating the extra costume platforming challenges requires mastery of all your movement abilities. However, the camera is not your friend when trying to maintain that clean schmoovement in some instances, and the wall kick can be your worst enemy when under pressure.

Combat is not enjoyable. The extra attack abilities are only good for exploration and required to finish the game. Trying to fight with any kind of style is pointless since you'll either wind up running in to enemies taking damage when you'd expect to hit them or get hit by an unstoppable spin attack that knocks your weapon away if you don't follow the same pattern with the only two enemies that present a real threat.

The music is alright. Nothing I found catchy or memorable but it wasn't distracting or annoying. The story and world don't make any sense, and there's barely any writing to speak of, other than some library books with some fun quips. It's trying hard to have a PS1/N64 aesthetic and it sorta works, but there's odd attempts at coherence with some area textures. I could imagine some areas having the Garry's Mod missing texture palette and I probably wouldn't notice.

The game does one thing really well and it barely holds it all together. It's not a bad game, it's just one well executed idea with a bunch of nonsense around it.
