I've been eyeing this game ever since it released. Definitely will get through it some day, especially since I love GBA games and Minish cap in particular, and this seems to be inspired by such titles.
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yo-Yo is the best indie game of 2025 (so far) and no one is playing it

30% off on Steam right now, and still the best indie game of 2025...

Finished it with 95% completion. It took me 20 hours.
As I said it in the "underrated games" thread, this is one of the best Zelda likes on the market, on par with the best 2D Zelda games imho. The game remains fun throughout its duration: every time you start getting tired of something, they throw you some new stuff and keep things fresh.
There are so many good aspects in this game: the overall moveset, the clever puzzles, the Metroidvania exploration on the main map, the urban setting, the upgrade system... Everything comes together in such a way that it elevates the experience way above similar games.
It's a crime this has only ~750 reviews on Steam. Games of this quality don't come out often, and usually indie developers don't engage much with Zelda likes, it feels like every other games is a side scroller Metroidvania instead. Or some kind of roguelike.
Don't let the GBA aesthetic stop you from trying this out. I don't care at all about that and had a blast playing it. The game looks charming, GBA aesthetic or not.
And for people who played and liked Pipistrello (or if you enjoy these "Zeldavania" games in general), you need to try UNSIGHTED, it's a must play for sure. It's top tier in the this genre, like Pipistrello, even if the two games are quite different in tone and gameplay:
I also have heard very good things about Minishoot Adventure, which I'm going to play as soon as possible:
