How it feels

A fast and visceral 2D action platformer with satisfying sword combat and pixel-art gore.

What players say

Players praise the smooth controls and fluid platforming, but note a very slow start and vague progression cues. The game is short with several endings, and boss fights are challenging but fair. Some find hitboxes questionable and the red seed upgrades underwhelming.
