❤ Tight Controls and Movement

Players praise the "snappy", "responsive", and "tight" controls, with one noting the game "nails the Mega Man movement." The controls allow for precise platforming and navigation through the challenging levels. Reviewers also highlight the variety in movement options across the different playable characters. Each character has unique attributes like "slippery feet but higher jumping" or varying degrees of speed, jump height, and attack abilities, allowing players to choose a character that suits their preferred playstyle.

❤ Level Design and Challenge

Reviewers consistently describe the level design as "well-designed", "clever", and "satisfying." The levels are short but packed with creative platforming challenges, secrets, and environmental hazards that keep the gameplay engaging. While some find the overall difficulty to be on the easier side, many note that the challenge ramps up nicely as the game progresses, striking a "fair" balance of challenge without excessive frustration. The generous checkpoint system allows players to quickly retry difficult sections without having to restart entire levels.

❤ Combat and Weapons

The game's projectile-based combat is praised for its "weighty" feeling, which rewards careful, strategic gameplay over button mashing. Players can collect and upgrade different weapon gauntlets, adding depth and variety to the combat. As they progress, they can find more powerful versions of the main weapon, as well as a variety of sub-weapons like magical attacks. This encourages experimentation to find the right tool for each situation. However, some reviewers note that the loss of a weapon upgrade upon taking damage can be frustrating, though it also adds a risk/reward element to the combat.
