How it feels

A demanding 2D precision platformer with a retro Japanese fantasy aesthetic and a color-matching combat system that requires focused timing.

What players say

Players praise the Valis-inspired retro style but are split on the color-matching combat mechanic, which some find creative and others say holds the game back. The difficulty is consistently noted as punishing, with limited continues and no mid-level saves.
