Really blown away by the presentation of this game after having gotten through the first real area! Tons of variety thanks to the space travel theme, and both enemy patterns, abilities and platforming mechanics feel very alien and unconventional as well (there's things like the pattern-movement bugs from Galaga, blocks you can switch places with as long as there's line of sight, and your emergency healing ability being a squirrel-operated slot machine).

Both the visual style, mechanics, and overall slower floatier pace makes it feel like the sequel to Cave Story we never got, or perhaps a lost 1990s PC game thanks to the lowpoly prerendered cutscenes for important events like discovering a new planet. The soundtrack is MASSIVE and really catchy (and the main reason I got interested in the game after seeing it on Youtube) so make sure to pick it up as well.
