How it feels

A very hard, short, side-scrolling pixel game that pushes the player through intense combat and puzzling encounters.

What players say

Players praise the unique side-scrolling perspective that feels like watching a school play and the gloomy, muted art style. The game is widely called frustratingly hard due to poorly telegraphed enemy attacks, and most finish it in under four hours, calling the experience lonely.
