How it feels

A fast, challenging retro-styled run-and-gun platformer where you blast through robotic enemies with crisp movement and quick reflexes.

What players say

Players are split on this retro side-scroller. Some call it a decently fun Mega Man homage, while others find the controls frustrating, especially the jump mechanics. The game is short, around 90 minutes to 3 hours, but can be grindy with respawning enemies and offers little variety.
