How it feels

A brisk, metallic sci-fi platforming run with responsive combat and a retro-inspired feel.

What players say

Players compare it to Mega Man and find it a short clone with only five levels. The soundtrack gets consistent praise, but controls feel clunky and the jumping is finicky, especially on ledges. Difficulty is divisive: some say it is too easy because of the auto-repair, others find the insta-death platforming and long, unavoidable boss attacks rage inducing.
