What players say

Players are sharply divided: many report game-breaking bugs and glitches like progression-stopping item loss or enemies attacking after death, while others recommend it as a short, cheap, Castlevania-inspired metroidvania. A few praise the responsive developer for fixing complaints, but the general consensus warns of frustrating, unpolished mechanics and pixel-perfect death traps.
