How it feels

A brisk, old-school arcade challenge with pixel graphics and a chiptune soundtrack, focused on quick and satisfying gameplay through dungeons and medieval towns.

What players say

Players praise the no-backtracking, screen-by-screen action puzzles and the charming pixel art inspired by NES Zelda and Atari 2600 Adventure. Difficulty ramps up gradually and deaths only cost a minute of progress, though some reviewers find the price too steep for the 3-hour runtime.
