How it feels

A whimsical, retro-styled platformer where you use a shapeshifting beard to fight and platform through colorful tropical levels.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, music, and retro SNES feel, but split on the controls and physics: some call them precise while others say they are sloppy and slippery. Many finish in under 7 hours and note that goblin coins serve no clear purpose.
