I thought this to be like a $20 game, but the msrp is $40... If I didn't have too many other things to buy right now, I'd be all over this.  Plus my backlog is a cunt.

Got a physical copy for Switch yesterday- cheaper than digital at $33. 
:idont

The soundtrack has tracks from Yuzo Koshiro and Michiru Yamane (of Castlevania fame) BTW.

I wonder how the Snap Switch port is...  Somehow, 2D games magically run like shit on it initially it seems...

And it sure doesn't support dat ultrawide...

 :o I'd double-dip if other stuff wasn't coming out this week.  :lol

EDIT: The PC version isn't coming out until Q1 2019.  Never mind...Switch it is.

OK yeah, wow...holy crap- play this.  This is a super high-quality platformer with great game play, visuals, and music.  Digging the scaling effects going on.  It's really hard to find any flaws at the moment.
