How it feels

A crunchy pixel puzzle game where you stab enemies to use them as tools, with simple mechanics that grow into complex, hard-to-master scenarios.

What players say

Players praise the pricking mechanic as a fresh twist on sokoban, but a significant number struggle with the 3-color pixel art that makes levels hard to read. The game is short and on the easier side, with some calling levels filler while others enjoy the steady difficulty curve.
