How it feels

A tough retro platformer with responsive controls and pixel art, challenging but fair combat against gory monster hordes.

What players say

Players praise the retro pixel art and nostalgic feel but call the game very short at around one to two hours. The bosses are repeatedly described as simple and easy, while the platforming levels are called repetitive and sometimes randomly stitched together. A few players mention the lack of rebindable keys as a frustration.
