If you ever thought to yourself "I kinda like Kirby, but I wished it was actually challenging", this is it. It takes all the core ability absortion mechanics from Kirby along with some design philosophies from other stablished schools in platforming and delivers an uninterrupted string of very challenging and dynamic stages.
Character movement is a bit on the loose side, but it's still very reliable; stages can kick your butt but the game is pretty generous with lives and each stage has at least a couple checkpoints; there's some demanding platforming, but it rarely feels like bullshit and you always know that things are doable with a bit of focus or persistence.
It's all around a very well designed game, I feel like if it were released by a major company or a more well-known developer it might be considered one of the standout platformer games of the past few years. It's still at its core a hard doujin game, but its difficulty is a tool to deliver fun interesting stages instead of being hard just for the sake of it. Really good stuff.
