How it feels

A breezy, nostalgic run-and-jump through a pixelated computer world with arcade-style combat and simple exploration.

What players say

A free retro-style platformer set inside a 1990s computer. Players say the charm and controls are solid, but the save system is unreliable and the final stage is hard, with one reviewer softlocked by a checkpoint issue.
