How it feels

A tense and atmospheric 2D platformer where you control a cute but vulnerable robot through increasingly difficult levels, with permadeath adding a sense of risk and urgency to each treasure-hunting run.

What players say

Players are split: some call it an asset flip with stolen assets and no story, while others enjoy a challenging 2D platformer with pixel graphics. Multiple reviews say it is very hard, with spikes and shooting plants, and one reviewer finished it in 13 minutes.
