HII THIS GAME WAS SO FUN TO PLAY AT THANKSGIVING LOL I GOT TO REVIEW IT

[@JeremyPeeples]

Looks fantastic - definitely a must-buy

[@IDreamofIndie]

Enjoy!

[@lafourmiedesbois5901]

Fantastic idk but very fidel to an era.

[@FlowerAngelRave]

Seems like a delightful little platformer. I think I'll have to pick this one up and give it a go sometime. Thanks for the review.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Of course!

[@MotherKojiro]

I'm definitely going to have to check this one out; I love retro titles with a few modern sensibilities thrown in, like towns and upgrades; Shovel Knight did that really well, too.

[@IDreamofIndie]

I think you'll enjoy it 😄

[@flameoko]

if this game coming to the Switch I get it

[@IDreamofIndie]

Awesome!

[@AntLeonardi01]

Remember when these kind of throwback games were rare?

[@IDreamofIndie]

Good to see them alive and well!

[@aaronko3480]

Will definitely pick this up if there’s a Switch version down the road.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Cool!

[@rkclinite]

Holy crap this actually came out! Kudos!

[@niveketihw1897]

Some indie titles are mentioned as having 8 bit graphics but are usually more 16 bit or later, but this game really does look like it came right out of the late 80s. Pretty cool.

[@DrCasey]

How long is it? Always thought it looks like a beautiful game but hopefully it's not too short. A good 6+ hours would be nice.

[@Mycoscopic]

My first beginning to end playthrough took about 16 hours over two days, and early testers got similar times, but it really depends on your play style and how much side stuff you go for (I'm one of the three devs!) There is a full walkthrough run on KZbin that runs 8.5 hours, though it goes pretty quick through dialogue and cutscenes and I'm not sure how much it's edited.

[@DrCasey]

​@@MycoscopicThank you :) I'm a completionist. Sounds perfect.

[@lucacarey9366]

Personally offended this isn’t on switch

[@IDreamofIndie]

Maybe sometime soon we will see!

[@MFRIITIIR]

Ill get it if its on switch, ps4, or xbox.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thanks for watching!

[@MisterPikol]

[@IDreamofIndie]

[@acrophobe]

looks fun ☑ looks fresh ☑ looks cute ☑ 😌

[@IDreamofIndie]

agreed agreed and agreed

[@Enan63.]

To sum up: 2D Mario + 2D Donkey Kong Country = Celeste 2D Mario + 2D Wario Land = Pizza Tower 2D Mario + 2D Mega Man = Fallen Leaf

[@IDreamofIndie]

NICE!

[@wilsonrichardson9387]

...What was the name of the favorite music band the reviewer mentions? I couldn't understand what he said *at all*.

[@Over_Toasted]

Anamanaguchi. It's a weird word.

[@stahly]

This catched my interest because of the gorgeous art style and Mega Man inspired mechanics, but I found the level design in the demo so boring and bland. did they romp it up for the full game?

[@Mycoscopic]

Depending on when you played the demo (which evolved over time in response to feedback), the opening levels were tweaked a little bit including some more density. Especially if you played before Leaf was given extra mobility (dash), then there are some changes, yeah. (Dev here)
