How it feels

A tough but lighthearted retro platformer where you die often and retry immediately, wielding a broom against alien invaders in pixelated 80s style.

What players say

Players praise the retro platformer feel and the challenge, but opinions split on controls: some find them poor due to the engine, others say gameplay is fluid and responsive. The level variety and four chapters with unique enemies and bosses keep it interesting, though randomness in later worlds frustrates, especially the spike in world 3's difficulty.
