How it feels

A chaotic, playful rampage as a disoriented character causes mischief in a sleepy town.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic 90s platformer feel and emotional story, but note janky controls, camera glitches, and a short main story around 5 hours. The game is a one-person project and opinions split on whether the bugs are acceptable for the charm.
