  Do not trust this game. This game is unholy. A siren's song of digital code and deep lore. It baits you in with a cute ball character and a grumpy wizard, and you start play. You see little puzzles for you to learn, and it holds your hand teaching you as it leads you. Like a wonderful goat mom eager to see her young child progress through the game. You start to feel special as you do slightly trickier and trickier puzzles. True they're difficult, but oh it's not so bad. A few falls, a little recovery, and off you bounce your merry sword strapped on way. But no, this is all false, it's only a few hours in that suddenly the hand is yanked away, and your tossed into a cavernous maw with test stones and bouncing between pillars as big cages easily squish you to your death. And then you can fully hear the siren's song along with cackles of evil laughter telling you it's no longer playing fair. No now you're in some sort of puzzle version creepy lovechild between Bennet Foddy's and Dark Souls. you keep trying over and over, seeing your round orb body getting squished, crushed, bounced and plummeting to it's death over and over. And the little times you get a spark of hope it's rapidly yanked away as you barely miss an edge, and you bounce, not just fall, bounce away so you fall right in the middle of the pit with no hint of pity. And after all this you managed to get through, you played the game in ways you're not sure was intended and somehow get to the next part. Oh that's when the worst comes in as you need stones to raise a platform, and they're all gone. You can't get them back. They're all back at the beginning. and your only choice is to die, to go back, refill, and try again but do better. You will feel your spirit crack. Your soul howl with despair and rage as you die just to try again, and again, and again. and looking for help you find little resources, and the ones you do are doing the same thing you are, so it's pointless! And the worst part, the absolute worst, after you walk away, cool off, and regain what little sanity you had left in your broken spirit, you want to go back and keep trying, because you know it's not impossible. You know you can make it if you give it. One. More. Try. This game will take you on a rollercoaster ride promising you sweets and candy, and you'll end up with super hot and spicy candy balls and an empty dread as you try one again to clear that cavern.

  It's a fun little indie game. I feel in love with the world and the idea of "balling" around. However the game will punish you if you don't play the way it wants, thus said it's a good game but a little to hardcore.

  It looks great, it plays well, and I love rolling up into a ball. It's the little things that are satisfying, like when you jump and then turn into a ball, the way you bounce; the way you can roll just a little bit at a time and stop instantly, giving you a strategic advantage when projectiles are trying to get you. Music is moody and supports the atmosphere well, the environments are detailed - it's impressive that this was achieved by a relatively small team. I've played on keyboard, but I look forward to trying this with a controller, which is probably the optimal way to play it. If I had any criticism it would probably be just a couple: there are a lot of different action buttons that are a bit hard to remember and press correctly when you're trying to dodge an enemy, then roll, then combine jumping and rolling into one longer rolling leap... If you're the kind of player who enjoys learning and remembering a lot of mechanics, this game is for you. Another thing that is more of a personal preference than a con - the platforming is precise, the deaths are often, and you'll find yourself being teleported back to the beginning a bunch if you don't pay attention. So, pay attention! This one is definitely more geared toward hardcore players that enjoy a bit of difficulty in their platformer hack n slash metroidvania hybrids. All in all, recommended. Back to bouncing and slashing.

  First: If you're playing this game, note that there is a "Forgiving jump" option under Settings->Game. Otherwise timing the jump requires pressing the jump button right before you land, which is different than most other platformers. With "Forgiving jump" set to "Always" I found this game far less frustrating. Otherwise, it's a pretty chill puzzle game with occasional combat. The nice thing is that once you kill a pack of enemies, they don't respawn. The environmental puzzles can seem difficult at first, but you need to master all the jumping and bouncing techniques. Once that is done, it's not bad. The story is interesting enough, and if you look around you find little notes and memory stones figuring out what has happened to this world. Overall, I think it's a pretty good platformer with some fun bouncing mechanics.

  I normally only leave a review after completing a game, due to health issues making an exception. In my opinion, this is a decent game well worth the value of 15 to 20 USD. It is heavy on platforming with minor puzzle solving and combat. The combat is rather limited with issues I have noticed that I am sure the devs will fix. One such issue as an example is with the demon sword using it's alternate/special attack. The animation is missing frames and just looks bad. Now, with that being said, I can't find any other issues. Would be nice if there was a block feature for combat. That is about all I can complain about. I am currently playing on the hardest difficulty level. I didn't even bother trying any other. Right from the start I felt a little regret that I have done such due to missing out on side quests., however there is replay value. So don't fret so much if you make the same mistakes as I have with missing out on things your first run. No spoilers. There is story/lore in the game and it just gave me a Tomba vibe. If you ever played Tomba 1 or 2, you would know what I mean. The difficulty of some of the platforming/puzzles may seem daunting... And even cause frustration. Thing is, they are very easy once you take the time to analyze the situation and figure it out. Trying to rush leads to "ruin" and not all hurdles have just one solution. Some have multiple. As for bugs, I only came across one and have told the devs of it which I am sure they will fix. Instead of just giving pros and cons. Giving this an 8 out of 10. If you want to play a game with difficulty that won't hold your hand while also being fun, this would be it. Now, I know people will judge this saying... "You didn't beat the game yet, your opinion means nothing." My rebuttal is as followed. You don't need to complete an entire game to get the grasp of it. If my health currently wasn't so poor, would have finished it. Also, you can watch youtube videos of the game play and see for yourself instead of just taking my opinion for it. Look at the other reviews. Rather positive, even from those complaining. That alone should say something. So...... with that being said. Just get the game if you are looking for a new game to play.

  Ok I am not a "Gamer" In fact I am a grannie, but I have some skills :-) This is an amazingly, incredible game. It is NOT easy, but it is addictive, "I CAN do that jump" 3 days later, I make the jump it is really rewarding. I am hooked, but after playing the likes of "Ori" I would PLEAD with the developers to make a Map! I like to go on a MISSION.. and complete. Without a map, I conquer an incredible jump sequence then, I am Lost as where to go next. This is an incredible platformer, Controls are SO precise, timing is everything. Prepare to DIE! (a lot) but you always have those angel wings to protect you a million times. Very clever. I love your game and I will continue to die and jump and bounce. Well done!

  This game started off as something very enjoyable. Fun story, nice graphics and exciting puzzles. But the further I got the more it relyed on doing perfect jumps and timings. It got to the point that I just stopped playing. I hope the developers can make some helpful mechanic for places that are really hard. I think myself to be a person with a lot of patience and I like to play hard games. But some places in this game just broke me.
