Unnecessarily difficult right off the bat, for the wrong reasons. It's not hard because there's a strategy you need to figure out (which should be the main source of difficulty). It's hard because the entire game requires surgical precision and perfect timing in order to get past any section, even from the very beginning.
This results in a long, tedious game of trial and error. Reach a section, die several times figuring it out, complete the section, and celebrate for a whole 0.5 seconds before realizing you've still got several hours worth of game to play through. It's even worse if you're playing on easy mode since EVERYTHING moves at a snail's pace.

that was really fun - there's lots of similar upgrade platform games out there (like the robobt wants series), but this one spoke to me in that it wasn't just about the end goal, it was about each upgrade and each trophy, as many other such games can be completed without every upgrade. 5/5!

Holy crap, that was difficult...and that's just on medium! Only part I had a real issue with is at the bottom of that long vertical shaftyou fall down. There shouldn't EVER be a checkpoint located in the line of fire like that. That part just felt cheap...

4/5 is what I would rate the game. I noticed some people were complaining about the difficulty of the game but I think it wouldn't feel as much of an accomplishment if it didn't have said difficulty (a hard game isn't the same as a bad game). I do agree that some of the challenges were too hard but I managed to beat them after trying enough times. In the game it was generally easy to find where to go to progress. One person (aaay) was criticizing how hard impossible mode was but the clue is in the name. Impossible mode is meant to be really hard and you aren't forced to play it. I am currently attempting to beat impossible mode because it is a difficult challenge.

Interesting shooting gimmick, but underused. The wall-jumping is sluggish. Overall, well designed, but a bit linear. Pretty close to what I'm looking for in a good metroidvania. Just add branching paths, and a bit of polish.

COMPLETED! 312 Deaths, and zoom in on my Chrome browser to make the running speed slower to see the paterns more easily (only works on laptop i guess)
To bad there isn't a colourd block on the exit to return and get al the collectibles without it being to hard

(Continuing from my previous comment) THE SCOREBOARD CONFIRMS EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE SAID! NO-ONE HAS COMPLETED THIS GAME FOR A WEEK! AND THERE'S ONLY ABOUT A PAGE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLETED THIS GAME IN THE "All Time" TAB. AND THAT'S FOR EASY! ONLY 3 PEOPLE HAVE DONE IT IN MEDIUM! ONLY ONE PERSON DID IT IN HARD! AND NO-ONE HAS GOT TO THE SECOND UPGRADE IN IMPOSSIBLE! THAT'S HOW HARD THIS GAME IS!

(Continuing from my previous comment) AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE! 4. Shooting enemies. If you shoot an enemy, it shouldn't just stop moving for half a second. It should be possible to kill them. NOW AM I DONE? NO! BECAUSE 4+1/2. HOW CAN ENEMIES KILL YOU IF THEY ARE FROZEN!? THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL! AND 5. THE PLAYER IS SO SLOW FOR A LARGE PERIOD OF THE GAME, AND THE SPEED UPGRADE DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP THAT! SO NOW AM I DONE!? NOPE! STILL TWO MORE THINGS! 6. WHEN YOU GET THE FIRST WALL-JUMPING UPGRADE, IT SHOULD TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN ONLY JUMP ONCE. AND I'M STILL NOT DONE! 7. THE WALL-JUMPING IS NOT EXPLAINED AT ALL IN-GAME! IT DOESN'T EVEN SAY THAT IT'S WALL-JUMPING! IT JUST SAYS "You feel bouncy" OR SOMETHING, WHICH TELLS THE PLAYER NOTHING!

1/5. This is probably one of the worst games I have ever played, here's why: 1. The controls. The high jump is really hard to do in a short amount of time. Also, you shouldn't have to hold the up key to stay stuck to the ceiling. If you want the game to be playable, change it so that if you are holding up when you touch the ceiling, you will remain on the ceiling until you release the up key AND press it again. 2. Where you're supposed to go. Often, it becomes REALLY unclear where you're supposed to go. This is made worse by: 3. The difficulty of the actual challenges. These challenges are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do. AND THAT'S IGNORING THE CONTROLS THAT WOULD ONLY BE REASONABLE IF THEY WERE MEANT TO MAKE THE GAME HARDER! I WOULD RATE THIS LOWER THAN 1/5 IF I COULD! AND THAT'S JUST EASY MODE! I TESTED IT, AND IN IMPOSSIBLE MODE YOU HAVE TO START OVER IF YOU DIE! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST GAMES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!HOW COULD YOU EXPECT ANYONE TO DO THAT!?

Solid game sluggish as hell despite speed upgrades and i got bored when it was too far between saves. Takes too much time retracing your steps. When the punishment for failure is boring a game is bad. Getting trophies and losing em due to shitty paths back is so annoying too. Should save when one picks one up just as with powerups. So close to being good as it is i dont like it. 2 stars.

Ok, so I figured a few things out, and managed to get wings. But I'm now stuck at a place where you have to jump and fly and dodge bullets, and I would be successful if the controls were consistent. Jump and fly seems to work just fine on the ones where the platforms are close together, but as soon as I get to that critical longer space between platforms, I'm now jumping as I land - right into a bullet. I'm sure it's something that I'm doing... not releasing the up button the nanosecond before I land (even though I did it just fine on the last three platforms). So maybe I don't have the fine motor skills required to control my character down to the pixel and I certainly don't have the visual skills to see the pixel that makes the difference between landing a jump or not. Too bad. I love these kinds of games. This one could have been good, but it's just too frustrating to pixel hunt over and over and over. 1/5

I must be missing something. I wish there were more instructions. I can't figure out how to move to any other parts of the game. I'm sure I'm just missing something.

A very difficult game. I enjoyed the challenge until it got to into the serious wall jumping part. The controls are just too annoying and sluggish.

I just started to play impossible.
Died a needless death at the first spikes.
It's final game over after 1 deah.
That explains why it's impossible. :O

Just completed the game.
It is great!
I also found 19/19 trophies.
So it's hard but not impossible like some people indicated.
