How it feels

A retro-inspired action-adventure where you play as a nimble bladewing fighting through corrupted enemies in a challenging, fast-paced quest.

What players say

Players praise the retro pixel visuals and music but are split on the controls, with some finding them tight and others feeling floaty. A persistent crash in the same bonus room bugs some reviewers, while the option to disable roguelite elements is a highlight.
