Stumbling through Freedom Planet

Here's Freedom Planet! After the darkness and tension of saving the planet in the UFO videos, I seriously needed to play something nice and fluffy. And this delivers a really nice and smooth platformer that succeeds in replicating and building on the mascot platformers of the Megadrive and early Playstation eras - it feels not quite like a Sonic fangame as I'd anticipated, but the kind of game that the Sonic series should have turned into instead of the unkempt polygonal heap that we got. But enough negativity, this is wonderful.
