How it feels

A punishing retro-style platformer with tight controls and a goofy, meme-infused tone that challenges you to survive traps and bosses while rescuing your brother.

What players say

Players say this is a short precision platformer with a one-life mechanic and no checkpoints, making it unforgiving. Many compare it to I Wanna Be the Boshy or Super Meat Boy, and some find the difficulty unfair due to tight platforming and poorly tuned hitboxes. A particular frustration is that accidentally clicking 'New Game' erases progress without warning.
