How it feels

A nostalgic 2D platformer where you explore alien planets and collect relics, with simple pixel art and chiptune music evoking the 8-bit era.

What players say

Players call this a jump-only platformer that channels classic ZX Spectrum games like Manic Miner without their permadeath. It starts easy but gets harder, and fans appreciate the developer's responsiveness, though some report a double-jump bug and Windows-only fullscreen support.
