How it feels
A gentle hand-drawn side-scroller where you play as a tiny tadpole cleaning rivers, offering a short and pleasant retro-inspired experience.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art and that it is free, but they consistently report unresponsive controls, unreliable hitboxes, and repetitive gameplay. The game is very short, around 10 to 20 minutes, yet players also describe it as surprisingly difficult, with some comparing a boss fight to a FromSoftware challenge.
