A fast and demanding 2D platformer with colorful elemental switching that rewards precision and persistence.

What players say

Players compare it to Mega Man more than Metroidvania due to its linear levels and hub-based structure. Reviews praise the real-time character swapping and distinct elemental abilities, but several report game-breaking respawn bugs that force a full restart. The bosses are challenging and demand tactical use of each character.
