How it feels

Bouncing light and water define a cute pixel-art action platformer where you fight through fixed screens with an umbrella that fires lasers.

What players say

Players praise the cute pixel art and water effects, and find the umbrella combat fun once they adjust the controls. Several note it is a short game, roughly one hour to clear. A common complaint is a lack of controller support with keyboard-only controls causing input conflicts. Difficulty is gentle, with one reviewer calling it forgiving.
