How it feels

A gentle puzzle platformer with cute pixel art and easy controls, set in a post-disaster coastal city where you guide black square creatures through simple, story-light rescues.

What players say

Players praise the clever corpse-piling and time-rewind mechanics, but the difficulty spikes sharply after the first chapter, and many complain about the lack of background music and unclear puzzle solutions. Some call the pixel art charming, others find the controls and level design frustrating.
