How it feels

A short, challenging, retro-styled platformer with pixel art that blends puzzle solving and nonlinear exploration, punctuated by unlockable modifiers for varied runs.

What players say

Players call it a faithful throwback to early home computer platformers, with three dungeons that take 2-4 hours to clear. It is challenging but does not punish too hard thanks to unlimited lives and generous checkpoints. Some players find the second dungeon frustrating, and opinions split on whether the retro monochrome visuals are charming or just ugly.
