How it feels

A pixel-art metroidvania that feels like a tense survival adventure on a lush, dinosaur-filled planet with an action-driven story.

What players say

Players enjoy the expressive pixel art, responsive movement, and emotional storytelling that works without a single line of dialogue. The game takes about 5-6 hours to finish and supports local co-op, where one player rides a dinosaur. Some find the map confusing and the difficulty punishing, while others say that aimless exploration is part of the genre.
