How it feels
A playful retro hybrid where you swap between a side-scrolling platformer and a top-down dungeon crawler, each with distinct abilities, to solve puzzles and fight enemies.

What players say
Players praise the concept of switching between side-scrolling and top-down views, calling it a clever mix of Metroid and Zelda. Many note rough edges like a poor default keyboard layout, primitive sprites, and bullet-sponge bosses, but overall find the game compelling despite its jank.
