How it feels

A retro pixel-art platformer with whimsical 1920s cartoon energy and modest platforming challenge.

What players say

Players describe a short, charming 8-bit platformer inspired by the public-domain Mickey Mouse cartoon. It has 20 levels and around 90 minutes of play, but reviews consistently report a lack of a manual save, forcing restarts after death. Some also mention no controller support on Steam Deck and an inability to rebind keys.
