A fast-paced retro platformer with challenging gameplay and charming pixel graphics that evokes nostalgia for classic Metroid titles.

What players say

Players praise the metroidvania-style exploration but are split on whether the game is fun or frustrating due to performance issues. A consistent complaint is the forced tiny resolution that cannot be changed to fullscreen, and some report dropped inputs or slow framerate even on powerful PCs, while others find the controls responsive.
