How it feels
A fast-paced retro platformer with punishing traps and monster gauntlets, driven by a dark fantasy chiptune soundtrack.

What players say
Players compare it to Ghosts and Goblins without the crushing difficulty, noting short levels with unlimited continues. They split on the challenge: some find it fair and fun, others say enemies are hit sponges and upgrades force grinding. At a very low price, most say it delivers a few hours of decent retro action.
