How it feels

A retro-style action-adventure where you explore a handcrafted pixel-art world, fight monsters, defeat bosses, and uncover hidden secrets.

What players say

Players describe it as a platformer with light metroidvania elements, more like Wonder Boy than Metroid. Combat is satisfying but punishing early on, and upgrading gear helps. Some wish for Chinese localization.
