If you decide to speedrun the game, you'll find that every single level can be beaten in unintended ways, and now suddenly the game is pretty good.

This game is an absolute vibe. What a gem. The aesthetics has been perfected and most importantly, the movement feels fantastic. Great OST as well. Big recommendation!

This is just an indie classic. The very first game I bought on Steam, digitally, back in 2009. It just has that vibe - it's from a different time in the indie game timeline. I remember the main mechanic, of drawing custom physics objects, being absolute black magic to me. I couldn't believe that it worked. Today I'm less impressed by that, but still think it's superb and such a classic concept. It's not perfect. You can definitely get away with some cheesy solutions, but it's part of the fun. Be aware that the game is old and probably no longer optimized for today's monitors and hardware. The pricing is also a little bit steep for the standards nowadays.

Just as cozy, light-hearted and fun as the previous entries in this masterful trilogy of computer games. However, this final game in the series amps up everything that is amp-uppable and acts as the perfect finale that you might've not known that you needed, but you did.

Pros:
+ Rock solid gameplay
+ Classic mechanics
+ Classic difficulty, forcing you to die many times and learn from it
+ Very unique and varying boss fights
+ Interesting, fresh and varying level design
+ Huge world to explore
+ Secrets to find
+ Many interesting power-ups adding to the gameplay everytime
+ Unique, very well made atmospheric OST and SFX
+ Dev is active in the community

Cons:
- Not really anything. It took the devs 3 years to finish this game, and I can definitely feel that. It feels very complete and well thought out. I guess deaths can be a bit harsh sometimes with some backtracking depending on where you died, but that's part of the game. Die, learn, die, learn, die, learn, die, learn, win. In that way, all victories feel so much more rewarding in contrast to most newer games that just hand them to you on a silver plate. This is an oldschool game in that sense. You WILL have to get good at the game to win it.
