After playing and enjoying Vision Soft Reset I was very excited to see this game appear seemingly out of nowhere, and have had my expectations met :)
Solid metroidvania, the character swap mechanic is a lot of fun and the main characters are each memorable. Their distinct personalities and dialogues made backtracking a lot more bearable. The combat was fun, the bosses were as well. Overall a very pleasant experience!
My only qualm is that the endgame feels lacking in content. Feels that the character swapping doesn't have a zone which really challenges the mechanic, at most I'd have to use two characters together to surpass an obstacle. Could've really done with an optional gauntlet that pushed the platforming a bit further.
With all that said, great work! I'm eager to see what you guys come up with next!
