How it feels

A fast, retro arcade-style run-and-jump platformer where you control a geisha battling enemies in Kyoto.

What players say

Players say it is a short, difficult side-scroller with only three stages and no checkpoints. The controls are simple but the hit detection feels off, and there is no pause button. Many note the soundtrack is surprisingly good, while others point out the game uses stock assets and resembles the developer's other titles.
