❤ Smooth and Responsive Underwater Navigation

The game allows players to freely swim in any direction, creating a unique sense of movement and exploration compared to typical platforming-focused metroidvanias. Reviewers have praised the tight and intuitive controls, which make the underwater traversal feel smooth and responsive.

❤ Engaging "Javelin" Combat System

Instead of directly attacking enemies, players control a secondary robotic swordfish character named Bront, which can be launched as a ranged "javelin" weapon. This back-and-forth gameplay loop requires players to carefully time Bront's attacks while maneuvering the main character to avoid enemy strikes. Players can experiment with different combat styles, such as rapid-fire jabs or charged, precise attacks, thanks to the customizable "memory board" upgrade system.

❤ Challenging Yet Fair Boss Encounters

The game features a variety of visually striking boss enemies, each with complex attack patterns that put the player's mastery of the combat mechanics to the test. Reviewers have noted that these boss battles strike a good balance between difficulty and fairness, providing a sense of accomplishment upon overcoming them. The adjustable difficulty settings allow players to tailor the challenge to their preferences.

❤ Rewarding Exploration and Progression

Thorough exploration of the underwater city uncovers shortcuts, secrets, and upgrades that enhance the player's combat capabilities and open up new paths to explore. The map system, which highlights undiscovered areas, helps guide players towards these rewarding discoveries. Reviewers have praised the sense of progression and satisfaction that comes from unlocking new abilities and using them to access previously inaccessible regions.
