How it feels

A cheerful, gentle platforming adventure that feels like a playful throwback to the Game Boy era.

What players say

Players praise its Game Boy-inspired look and sound, but opinions split on the bomb-as-platform mechanic: some find it clever, others say it slows the pace. The last level spikes in difficulty, while a few note bugs and a missing quit button.
