How it feels

You hop and whack enemies with a staff to collect magic in a cute but challenging 2D platformer that feels playful yet demanding.

What players say

Players praise the Kirby-like power-stealing mechanic and charming art, but many find the floaty, momentum-heavy controls frustrating as difficulty ramps up. There is consensus it is Nintendo Hard, with the world 4 boss singled out as a highlight and the postgame content described as brutally difficult.
