How it feels

a fast-paced retro action game with light puzzling and monster-powered abilities, feels like a modernized 2D platformer with co-op speedrun options.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, puzzle-focused platformer similar to Super Mario Bros. 2, but with janky controls and occasional softlocks. Some enjoy the enemy-throwing mechanics and music, while others find the level design uninspired and the pacing slow.
