How it feels

A straightforward but tough 2D platformer with a cozy soundtrack and intentionally dated mechanics, offering a free and modestly intense experience.

What players say

A short free platformer that starts fun but spikes sharply in difficulty, with players split on whether the challenge or the buggy hitboxes and unreliable double jump are the real enemy. The death scream is widely hated, and level 1-8 is a common sticking point.
