How it feels

A quick, tough solo-dev platforming adventure with retro pixel art and frantic combat.

What players say

Players are split on this free indie platformer. Many praise the pixel art and retro feel, but an equal number cite slippery, ice-like movement and imprecise controls that make platforming frustrating. Combat draws complaints for stun-locking and a tiny UI for stamina, though some enjoy the simplicity. The game is short, roughly one hour, with a weak story and some say it feels unfinished.
