How it feels
a hybrid of film noir and samurai cinema with 8-bit graphics and an electro-jazz soundtrack, blending acrobatic jumping and combo-based combat into a stylish, retro action experience

What players say
Players are split on this short platformer. Many praise the soundtrack and the rewarding challenge of its tricky dash jump, but nearly everyone finds the combat simple and stiff. Enemies respawn every time you die, which some call tedious. The story is minimal and hard to follow, but several players say that does not matter.
