How it feels

A fast, arcade-style precision platformer that feels like playing an authentic 8-bit action game from the 1980s.

What players say

Players say it is a competent ninja gaiden-inspired platformer that is short (around 2 hours) and fairly easy compared to the original. The controls are precise and the chiptune soundtrack is a highlight, but the level design is not very memorable and some find it too simple.
