How it feels

A gentle exploratory platformer that mixes light action, puzzle solving, and pixel-art charm as you gather resources and fight cartoonish foes.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming but challenging platformer built around exploration and backtracking, not a Metroidvania since there are no ability upgrades. Most finish in 3 to 6 hours and praise the soundtrack, though some find the worm vehicle segments and occasional RNG boss fights frustrating.
