A solid puzzle platformer, with great map design, nice dialogue and unlockable spicy images. The art and animations are amazing considering its budget. For this price, this game is a steal.

Default keyboard controls are far from the standard, but you can easily rebind those. I had some problems advancing dialogue with rebound keys, but nothing major. You aren't able to place a teleport while moving, and, while you need to get used to it, the maps are built around that limitation, making it a nonissue.

The puzzles are clever and well-designed, with only one or two exceptions. Some rely on timing more than others, but the game is beatable even if you have trouble with many of the levels. Every time you beat a level, you earn credits that you can use to unlock spicy images in the gallery or skip up to 15 levels per playthrough without missing the dialogue.

The character animation is fluid and the art is beautiful, with the highlights being the main character and the stunning scenery. The spicy artwork is good and an uncensor patch is available, but it is far from the main draw of the game. You can unlock all images in a single playthrough, even if you skip a level.

The dialogue is well-written and the characters are likable, with realistic reactions and plenty of funny moments. Some lines delve into deeper themes, like religion and morals, which can bring discomfort, but the writing manages to stay true to the characters and sets up a great payoff. The ending and epilogue are fleshed out, greatly reflecting the character's journey during the game.

It took me 5h50m to complete the 58 main levels and the 5 special ones with no skips. While it isn't perfect, this is a surprisingly great game that I can't recommend enough.
