How it feels

a precise and physics-heavy 2D platformer that feels tricky but adorable, with a floaty grappling hook and cute anime presentation.

What players say

Players praise the unique grappling hook mechanics and say it is a clear improvement over the first game, but note it is the hardest in the series with late levels that feel like kaizo. Some complain the port lacks quality-of-life features like a stage select and keeps a lives system that can lead to game overs.
