How it feels

A classic 90s-inspired platformer with a punishing yet rewarding arcade feel, where you leap and fight through gothic, trap-filled levels to a driving soundtrack.

What players say

Players call it a solid retro action-platformer inspired by Castlevania and Rastan, praising the tight controls, pixel art and soundtrack. Difficulty is fair rather than punishing, with a forgiving lives system. Some note confusing save mechanics, a few late-game levels feel padded, and one player reports janky hitboxes.
