How it feels

A fast, tense old-school platformer where you race through levels and must avoid instant death from enemies.

What players say

Players praise responsive controls and the death system that resets you a level back, but split on whether the game is fair. Many find the zoom and level blind jumps lead to frustrating, memorization-heavy deaths, and enemies hit from too far away.
