How it feels

A classic-inspired platformer where you freely explore a single huge level at your own pace, aided by checkpoints and shrines.

What players say

Players describe a short, charming retro platformer with a collectathon focus and heavy use of checkpoints. Some praise the forgiving difficulty, while others are frustrated by a disorienting camera that sways when moving and note that the game only supports controller d-pad, not analog.
