How it feels

A frantic arcade chase where you dig for gems while setting traps to delay persistent ghosts.

What players say

Players are split on this retro-style platformer. The core freeze mechanic and speed of the ghost frustrate some, while others find it satisfying once mastered. Many note the short main campaign, but the built-in level editor adds replay value. Bugs that trap the player in an animation and cause crashes are consistently reported.
