How it feels
It feels like a pick-up-and-play retro action platformer where you learn through pure gameplay and nonlinear exploration.

What players say
Players describe it as an NES-hard platformer in the style of Mega Man with a bullet hell twist. The difficulty is divisive: some find the stage design unfair with instant death traps and cascading enemies, while others say easy mode is manageable. Controls and retro art are praised, but knockback and infrequent checkpoints frustrate many.
