I'm talking about Arzette: Jewel of Faramore. I actually liked it a lot.

It's not amazing but it does what it sets out to do superbly, with maybe a couple kinks here and there. If you're looking for an action platformer on the easier side, then it's serviceable, but I wouldn't sell it on that. It's definitely a game where "greater than the sum of its parts" is an apt description.

It goes on sale fairly regularly for $10 on Steam, and it just hit GOG where it could go for a similar price. Else, you could try it when you're a little MMM richer.

There’s a sail on all GOG games right now, 100% off, including this one.

The soundtrack's pretty good too. I downloaded that and listen to it before I've even played it.

Not for this game but I definitely can relate. I've bought a few games after listening to their OSTs and liking what I heard.

It has some really annoying parts like enemies that can hurl projectiles at ridiculous speeds, but overall it's a fun game and they committed to the aesthetic.
