Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

From memory I do remember things getting ludicrously easy if you levelled Fidget right up. And I don't recall the writing at all. Likely just nonsense to move the plot along while opening up new areas.

But as a one man effort, it's incredible. Especially the art style, which normally falls into the pixel art or just plain ugly when it comes to the 1-2 man indie games.

Agreed. The art looks straight out of an anime, and Dust's combat animations are really smooth and satisfying. I think the cutscenes looked really good, too, but it's been long enough that I don't remember.

I had a quick look on YouTube and they're not bad at all. It's hardly Baldur's Gate 3, but it doesn't look out of place next to most of the AA Ubisoft 2D games that had dozens of people working on them.
