What players say

Players are split on this retro platformer. Some praise the pixel art, music, and fun exploration, while others find it frustratingly slow, with tedious saving, unskippable sequences, and limited keyboard remapping. The difficulty is generally described as easier than classic NES games, but boss fights divide opinion.
