How it feels

You juggle a retro 2D platformer in your headset while hiding it from your teacher, blending childhood mischief with nostalgic pixel action.

What players say

Players love the nostalgic trip back to 1980s handheld gaming, especially the clever concept of playing a GameBoy-like game while hiding it from a teacher in VR. It is short, around 2 to 4 hours, and many find the final boss frustratingly hard. Controls outside the in-game console are clunky, and it runs poorly on Index headsets or with VR controllers.
