I actually 99%'ed this one. It's basically an homage to Hollow Knight. A mini-HK if you will. Quite fun. Now on to the drawbacks.

Can't bind mouse buttons, in fact, can't rebind anything! No settings to speak of. Fixed view, can't look up/down. Can't drop down through platforms.Feels rather linear for the first 3/4 of the game. No map markers for some stuff you've seen but can't reach/haven't taken yet. Some items need better descriptions.
 
Oh yeah, this game is basically a budget version of Hollow Knight. It's decent enough but as far as metroidvania style games are concerned it is overall lacking in several departments.

I disagree, it's most assuredly a Metroidvania. What's lacking is just G/UI and gameplay QoL.
