Holy heck is Semblance a pretty and wacky ball of fun. We all know platformers are usually just you controlling a character, jumping from platform to platform. Semblance however neatly subverts this trope, allowing your character to deform the platforms to your liking, in order to solve puzzles. It is pretty charming too, with a cute graphic style and soothing soundtrack; though the character does remind me of Ash from The End Is Nigh.

On the flip side of the coin, I'd frequently find myself accidentally jumping into the trees by accident, leading me to travel to other areas unintentionally. This unfortunately causes me to waste some extra time travelling back. Not to mention, there was at least one level where I would get stuck in the middle for no rhyme or reason (which is likely a bug, I suppose?).
