This game had been on my radar for quite some time and needing a new Switch game I picked it up for full retail after tiring of waiting for a sale. It's a heck of a game. Incredibly challenging, it's been compared to games like Super Meat Boy (which was too hard for this old man). I managed to finish this game without using the assist mode, and while I know that's not the greatest of achievements, I found it difficult enough that I don't have much desire to go and 100% it. I'm done with it at this point. The game took me almost 11.5 hours, I died 2221 times collecting 43 of 175 strawberries. I was relieved to see the credits roll. The game has a nice graphical style to it, with soothing music to help ease the frustrations. The story is admirable for this kind of game. Recommend.
Edit July 18, 2021. I played through this again on PC and died 1239 times and only 26 Strawberries. That's almost 1000 less deaths for 17 less strawberries. Wow. I think it controls better with an Xbox Game Pad.
