Essentially this is exactly what it would've looked like if the lead dev of Kamiko makes a metroidvania.

As a fan of Kamiko, Transiruby is once again a game well done.
Artstyle, design, music and gameplay is all looking solid.
It also has a good amount of dialogue to show some humor as well.
Several recurring elements from Kamiko returns in Transiruby as well.

First playthrough last around 6 hours.
There were probably like 2 puzzles where I got stuck at longer than I expected, in both cases it was because I found the solution at the wrong spot. I don't feel sorry for looking these up though, as the actual solution was in a place I expected less.

There are only a few gripes that holds me back for replayability and speedrunning, and that are unskippable cutscenes, and the slow "door opening" segments. I feel like it would help replaying the game a lot if those could be skipped.

Overall, the game is incredibly charming and worth the try regardless.
