It was very difficult, but I managed to get to the end in 52:51 with 84 deaths. The look of the game is really well done and I loved the music. I wish there was a puzzle early on that forced the player to kill an orb, as I did not realize you could destroy them until after the boss, which made backtracking very difficult. My only other recommendation is making the boss have less health, as the fight sometimes became a bit tedious, especially the second stage.
