How it feels
A retro action-adventure where you burrow and whip through a cursed island's hazards and monsters.

What players say
Players are divided on this retro metroidvania. Many praise the exploration and presentation, but a larger share finds the controls slippery, the burrow imprecise, and the difficulty frontloaded before you can face-tank most of the game. The healing system and bone economy feel punitive to some, while others note the game offers optional difficulty sliders.
