Really solid entry. Visuals and gameplay really sync, great palette and designs all around honestly.
Control wise I found it a bit fiddly, but that didn't super affect my playing experience. It mostly hurt in tight spots where I had to maneouver around an enemy.
Love the race back up scenario too! I think a little bit of mechanical progression could help to know the cave better and consequently have a better grasp of where to run towards when escaping.
Gotta be proud, this one's a banger.
