How it feels
a heartfelt retro platformer where you play as a tiny pacifist octopus overcoming a war-torn world through kindness and puzzle-solving, wrapped in cute pixel art with a surprisingly serious story.

What players say
Players praise the story and Game Boy aesthetic but are split on the gameplay. Many find the hat powers either interesting or useless, and late-game levels become confusing mazes without a map. Classic mode's one-hit death mechanic frustrates, though the easier mode helps.
