How it feels

A strategic adventure game with puzzle solving and combat, set in procedurally generated caves that encourage exploration and offer optional local co-op.

What players say

Players are split on this 2D platformer. The procedural dungeons and co-op are appreciated, but the dark visuals make navigation frustrating and death from unseen spikes common. Some call it irritatingly difficult while others find the atmosphere compelling.
