What a beautiful game! It was especially great because the gameplay itself really hooked me, the precise platforming, fast pace, great atmosphere, and music, but the more the character and story unfolded, the more special the game became. Through the first three chapters I was comparing it to Super Meat Boy, but with some of the later chapter mechanics and the character progression, it ended up standing in a league of its own. Each chapter really stands on its own while meshing together very cohesively, a fact that is very apparent during the final summit, where you're going through a bit of a chapter "gauntlet" to beat the game. I really enjoyed its characterization of anxiety/depression and how it really preaches acceptance of oneself.
