How it feels

A pixelated rogue-like where you control a headless character using their own head as a weapon, bouncing through levels and fighting enemies in an old castle.

What players say

Players enjoy the creative mix of brick-breaker and roguelike genres, but many find it too hard and frustrating with mouse-only controls, clunky physics, and bugs like getting stuck. The game is short, though the pixel art and music are praised.
