How it feels

A timed, cooperative puzzle-platformer with retro pixel graphics that feels like a gentle yet tense test of coordination and problem-solving.

What players say

Players praise the faithful C64 port and clever co-op puzzles, but many say the constant backtracking wears patience thin. Others note the keyboard controls feel awkward.
