How it feels

A brisk, treasure-hunting adventure with a lighthearted tone where you sneak past enemies and unlock new abilities in a colorful fantasy world.

What players say

Players enjoy this free 3D platformer for its nostalgic 90s feel and cute art, but nearly everyone mentions the lack of a save system, forcing them to replay levels from scratch. Controls feel loose and jumping is unreliable, and the game is short with only five levels and a boss.
