This game is so good , one of the best platformer of all time . Very good writing and music score . Game mechanics are very nice, controls are very tight and responsive . Story presentation is one of the best ever . Too much fun this game
Hats off to the runner superb run super technical. Thanks couch for explaining along the way

[@mr.cook5]

commentary in this run really sold it for me having not played the game. run itself comes off as very impressive because of the nature of the game but huge props to the commentary duo imo

Happy to see The Messenger No OoB representation at GDQ. Good stuff to vlacksr as well as Kyle and Miinfin on the virtual couch.

[@Siniquitous]

The movement was absolutely bonkers in this run, awesome run!!

[@piplup2009]

The soundtrack in this game is soo good

[@misterdrgn5155]

This is a great game. Probably the hardest Switch platformer where I've completed all the optional content (along with Guacamelee 2?).

[@sspiderandbee]

Having played through this game over like 8 hours and tons of deaths, watching this run was inspiring.

[@MithDragon]

This music certainly does slap hard.

[@mikigirl18]

I love that this is giving me the old NES Ninja Gaiden vibes.

[@Tonaram]

The movement in this game is so good

[@MDD359]

First metroidovania that i realy liked. Good story, funny dialogs, clean responsive
controls, interseting mechanics, awesome music.

[@RomanQrr]

Play this game. It's worth it.

[@Seama327]

Vlack is very good at games omg 😍

[@covikt958]

DO THE THING! o/

[@shardofkingdoms9816]

God I love this game

[@brendandorsey4508]

Could be that I have piss poor memory but isn't this only 3/4th of the game???

[@zed20xx53]

This category in particular only follows the linear pathing of the game leading up to the Demon General before the game transitions to a Metroidvania.

[@Paperochek]

More like 1/3

[@BxCx666]

This speed makes me happy.

[@mtgrimm1]

I too, enjoy Chinese cuisine

[@wesleyackerman8211]

it's not a full run?

[@TheMusicalStylingsofBrentBunn]

I too like Chinese food.

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

Why Japanese? Display speed or something to that effect?
