Having finished it I have to say it's a crazy goddamned (intended) ride!
I felt the puzzles were fun, and kept me entertained for the most part. Combat felt alright but with some of the later bosses I felt like I was just eating hits and shooting until my cooldown meter maxed out then waited then started shooting again. The characters were the real draw for me for the most part. A lot of them I liked, and they were all a flavour of crazy in their own ways. The pixel art was fantastic, and the animation kept stunning me with how much original stuff they did every step of the way.
Still raw on the whole ending so forgive me:
So the bird I didn't get but I absolutely adored the pantamiming between him, and Robin was gold! Everytime there was a hug it felt earned. I hated the tower level because you had to remember where tesla coils were after you got your new ability after you've been going up and down various levels it was really disorienting. The level under the tower in the pitch black waters wasn't fun either. I wanted to save Royal so hard that I died a bunch trying to find some other way to save him. Black was pretty tragic given that I have the occasional constant migrane myself. To be born anew with it and told its a gift would absolutely be maddening. They didn't need to but I was fond of how the camera cut to outside the rocket and you saw the monster you faught earlier burn up in the atmosphere. Nice touch.
