Reviews
We read them all: the case for is tobyplays's. Marked below.
- tobyplaysThe case forThe Thrill Chaser★★★★★
A platformer about anxiety that respects you enough to be hard. Assist mode is there and the game never judges you for it. Chapter seven B-side broke me and then I broke it.
- pixel_peteThe Comfort Seeker★★★★★
The dash feels like a thought. That is the whole review: a platformer where the input is so clean the difficulty becomes a conversation instead of a wall.
