What players say

Players love the cute visuals and the heart of this short student-made platformer, but opinions split on the rough edges: many praise the forgiving checkpoints and infinite lives, while others report frustration with a confusing final chase, no in-game map, and occasional technical bugs like falling through textures or broken prompts.
