How it feels

A 2D boss rush that feels like walking through Van Gogh's paintings while fighting emotional, artistic struggles.

What players say

Players praise the Van Gogh-inspired art and heartfelt tribute, but the combat is a sticking point: input lag, limited defensive options, and a final boss with unavoidable poison damage frustrate many. The game is a short boss rush that some find too hard even with an easy mode, and players split on whether the janky controls are worth enduring for the visual and emotional experience.
