What players say

Players describe a short 9-level retro action platformer that feels like a 16-bit console game. Level variety is a consistent highlight, from moving vehicles to a horizontal shooter section. Controls get mixed reviews: some find them fluid after adjustment, others call them clunky or stiff. Boss fights are considered straightforward.
