Unique and eye-catching graphic style.
The idea of material exchange fits well with the environmental puzzles of the game.
A 3D platform inspired by 90s icons.

Confusing reading card.
Some slowdowns and uncertainties too many.
There is a lack of boss fights worthy of the name (and of this genre).

The "swap" mechanic is original and offers many possibilities to solve puzzles.
His artistic style is worthy of mention.

Although the Nintendo Switch 2 stabilizes it enough, the refresh rate varies on both consoles in certain situations.
There are some technical details with room for improvement.

Creative and well-utilized exchange mechanics (SWAP/EXCHANGE).
Clean soul collection.
Good length (I thought it was going to be a short game!)
Variety of activities (collectibles, puzzles, 2D micro-levels).
Location in Brazil in Portuguese with humor.
