This is a fun little Metroidvania that has a few odd balancing decisions, but is still good enough overall to recommend. I love the visuals throughout and the soundtrack is excellent with plenty of great melodies for exploration. Character design is very out there and it's wonderful to see.

I think there are some balancing flaws with the weapon system. The basic fireball is weaker in every way to the reflecting shot but they are treated equally for assigning ammo upgrades. And for being so heavily reliant on block and laser puzzles for secrets, the fact both the laser and mirror have ammo and don't always have refill sources outside of self-damage spots is a bit silly at times.

Bosses are a bit too spongy for my taste. I will admit I did not finish, mostly because I got to what I assume was a final boss and just found myself running out of all ammunition despite having my attack berries all maximized. The refills are all random too, so I found myself not getting enough ammo to retaliate against a huge health bar. I wish the refills prioritized the ammo you have less of, like in Super Metroid. I did go around looking for more items afterwards, explored a bunch, and enjoyed finding secret areas, but nothing I found really seemed like it would mitigate the sponginess of the boss or make the fight more manageable.

If that doesn't put you off though, this game was a really enjoyable time with some fun upgrades and a lovely set of weird alien planets to explore. Play the demo and check it out!
