❤ Mastering the Cloudstep Mechanic

You'll master a core mechanic called the "Cloudstep", which allows you to gain extra jumps by hitting enemies, projectiles, or objects during your jump. This creates a fluid, acrobatic feel as you chain together wall-jumps, grappling hooks, and Cloudsteps to navigate the challenging 2D environments.

❤ Seamless Shift Between 8-Bit and 16-Bit Visuals

The ability to shift between 8-bit and 16-bit visual styles plays a key role in the Metroidvania progression. Certain paths and areas are only accessible in one visual mode or the other, creating a clever sense of discovery as you uncover new routes and secrets by testing different visual modes.

❤ Rewarding Exploration and Progression

About halfway through, the experience transforms into a fully-fledged Metroidvania, with a more open-ended, interconnected world that encourages backtracking and exploration. As you gain new abilities, previously inaccessible areas open up, incentivizing you to thoroughly comb through the world.

❤ Challenging Platforming Obstacles and Boss Battles

Throughout both the linear platforming and Metroidvania-style exploration, the controls maintain an exceptional level of polish and responsiveness. The platforming challenges, while certainly difficult at times, always feel fair and conquerable through skill and practice.
