How it feels

A deliberately difficult, handdrawn 2D platformer that channels old-school trial-and-error intensity.

What players say

Players say this is a short, cute I-wanna-style precision platformer with smooth controls and increasingly hard bosses. Some find the final boss too drawn out and the attack mechanic (a bouncing rock) awkward. The art and soundtrack are praised, but the difficulty spikes sharply in the final areas.
