How it feels
A lighthearted and energetic metroidvania with a comedic tone, where exploration and frantic monster battles are paired with a charming art style and a treasure-hunting adventure.

What players say
Players call this an obscure, cheaply priced metroidvania that mimics NES-era games. The story and writing are well liked, but the combat feels clunky with un-cancelable attacks, bosses are damage sponges, and the physics are poor. Many want remappable controls.
