What players say

Players describe it as an authentic retro platformer with PS1-era visuals built on the GZDoom engine, offering non-linear levels full of secrets. The difficulty is consistently called punishing, partly due to only two hearts of health and controls that take getting used to, yet checkpoints are frequent. Some players find the inertia-based movement clumsy.
