How it feels

A challenging pixel-art platformer with a somber, old-school feel and a focus on exploration and precision.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and music but are sharply divided on the controls. Many complain that you cannot shoot while moving on the ground, making combat feel sluggish and unresponsive, while a few seasoned platformer fans say the game is fair after adapting. The difficulty is described as very high, with checkpoints that are either generous or punishing depending on the reviewer.
