How it feels

a straightforward 2D action game with a stark monochrome visual style, focused on defeating bosses and unlocking new movement abilities to progress through a black-and-white world

What players say

Players praise the boss fights' challenge and the break/critical system, but warn the game is tough with no healing items and a very hard final boss. The monochrome world and music are highlights, while hidden walls can be tricky.
