I was told it was like La Mulana. It is not. I hate it.

While very neat aesthetically, the narrator quickly became annoying and presumptuous about the player's actions and should have avoided using "you" and "your" or given more options as I quickly felt disconected from my blob and all the emotions claimed felt incredibly forced and, like the void, empty.

Dificulty wise I found the main game to be a giant tutorial and upon trying the post-game "void mode" found it was both the real meat of the game but sadly left a bitter taste in my mouth and I have no real want to complete it. The game lacks a dificulty curve and goes from mind numbingly easy to dreadfully dificult with no real middleground. Many deaths seem to require forsight to bypass on a first try or be up to luck. Thankfully, in the main game this is mitigated by frequent checkpoints and while not so great design wise is quickly forgotten. In Void mode however, the game feels like platformer romhack design in that there is a lot of waiting, needless spikes for precision platforming in long puzzle areas, and the oppening has you face to face with an enemy and flat terrain and is just an awful introduction to the mode that left me feeling "Really game?".

While I do have negative complaints, let them not be the entirety of my view on the game aside from aesthetics. I enjoyed the combination of platform and painting puzzle elements and I would like to see more done in this vein without resorting to the void mode levels of dificulty! There are amazing ideas at work here and I think they are more in need of fine tuning and dificulty balancing than being anywhere near outright bad. I hope to see more from these devs in the future, and hope they improve along the way!

Amazing game. Decent amount of replayability and challenging puzzles for any fan of top-down zelda-esque adventure games.
