a brisk, retro-styled 2D shooter with light roguelite upgrades and a cheerful, grind-heavy adventure feel

What players say

A short, fun action-platformer with a wholesome story. Players enjoy the level design and fluid gameplay but note the difficulty can require grinding, though a train lets you skip straight to bosses. Some report no gamepad support.
