This is a fun game. Polar Knight's level was kind of uninspired with the conventional "ice makes moving slightly stupid" gimmick, but they implemented it well. The boss fight was also fun and unique. I'm on the tower level now and it's really fun and also ball-breakingly hard.

V. Good game, bought and beat, A+ would shovel again.

Also the air dash is so OP for killing bosses/breaking levels over your back. Game does the Mario thing where obstacles cease to exist above the Y coords of the screen even though you can go beyond the screen, wackiness ensues.

I thought the "snow falling on spikes" was an interesting secondary gimmick

Absolutely, and the ice penguin rainbow vomit was also fun. I think the designers also made the ice fresh and relatively fun. And it was neat how they brought it altogether for the boss fight.


It takes like 5 hours to beat, but drat this is still worth $15 to me. This is a really great game.

been thinking about doing this, do you feel it was worth the cost now that you have probably beaten it like 3 times (because it is apparently so short)?

I only played it once and still feel like it was worth it.

that part was cool but it was still a fuckin' ice level. Just like how treasure knight's was still a fuckin' water level.

Still enjoyed the hell out of the game (and those levels) despite that
