How it feels

A frantic retro arcade platformer where precise jumps and quick shooting are key to surviving a dark monster invasion.

What players say

Players describe a decent but familiar platformer with a steep difficulty and no checkpoints, forcing full-chapter runs. The level design and variety of modes, like upside-down stages or moon gravity, keep it from being a bare retread, though some find the price high for the pixel art presented.
