How it feels

A tough, old-school platformer with pixel art and CRT effect that feels like a classic C64 game.

What players say

Players praise the authentic C64-inspired graphics and music, but are split on gameplay: many find the controls clunky, the combat heavy on randomness, and the difficulty punishing with only one life and no continues, while others appreciate a short, challenging retro experience. It is widely described as a clone of the 1988 game Storm Warrior.
