How it feels

A frantic, side-scrolling dungeon romp with a twisted sense of humor and a cute but surreal aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the bizarre humor, art style, and voice acting but split on gameplay. Many find the randomly generated rooms repetitive and the combat dull, while others enjoy the movement and monster collecting. Controller support is weak, and some report frequent crashes and long load screens.
