How it feels

A fast-paced, challenging 2D platformer with colorful, retro pixel art and a cute, cartoony world of bugs.

What players say

Players compare it to Sonic and Mario but note the difficulty spikes and poorly designed bosses, especially the ghost fight. The music and sound design come in for strong criticism, with some muting the game entirely. Player sentiment splits on whether the level design is clever or boring.
