Clearly, a labor of love. The story feels very epic, and it includes many shocking twists (do not be fooled by the aesthetics and cute main character, this game is absolutely NOT for children). The platforming was occasionally very hard, but the game understands and helps you whenever you are having a hard time (I could swear one particularly hard boss died easily after my many incompetent attempts), and the controls are usually very good. And the many many references to pop culture and gaming (especially from the 70s and 80s) are quite awesome.
