A bright and breezy side-scrolling adventure with a cheerful anime style, where you jump through colourful levels alongside a flying blue companion.

What players say

A faithful and charming remake of the 1994 original, players say it is simple and easy throughout, with light puzzles and a short run of about four to seven hours. The game is linear and relaxing, though some find the art style plasticky compared to pixel art and a few report an unpatched bug tied to high refresh rates.
