Really fun game with a great feel to it. The attacks had a nice slashy impact and felt effective, especially with the knockback. I also liked the movement options a lot, especially having both upward and downward attacks in the air. That, combined with the grapple, made it really fun to zip around and deal with the mushrooms and birds. The pixel art was really pretty too, and the animations looked great, especially the mushroom's attack.
The player controller felt strong overall, and the dash in particular felt really good. Also thanks for the gamepad support, it played great on it and never felt like I was missing out by not using the keyboard. It was very easy to pick up and play, and I appreciated the extra polish of the in-game quick hot-to's as well.
