I love games like this, reminiscent of ori, I can't put it down :) Clever puzzles and challenging enough gameplay, yet so simple. I really hope they make a sequel someday

I remember playing this game a long while ago, and forgot about it, until I suddenly had a realization that I played some sort of UFO Metroidvania in the past. While my feelings are not as positive as they once were, this is still a solid short metroidvania~esque game where you play as an UFO that has to destroy a plague that has infested a planet.

This was a really good Metroidvania where you control a flying saucer and get all sorts of cool upgrades. The environment, abilities, and enemies all work very well together...and some minor puzzling even works your brain here and there just a bit, but nothing so much you would need a guide for. Took me 8 hrs to finish, but it was a very high quality experience. I would recommend this over most of the more marketed
