How it feels

A warm, nostalgic dash through cartoony 2D worlds where two heroes dodge cute enemies and solve simple puzzles together, evoking the breezy pace of SNES-era platformers.

What players say

Players call this a comfy, easy platformer with strong SNES nostalgia and a working couch co-op mode that includes a smart camera option. The fact it was made by one person impresses many.
