How it feels

A short, retro 2D shooter where you run through ruins with a weapon, chasing a magical crystal in a brisk arcade-style adventure.

What players say

Players call it a short, old-school platformer with snappy controls and a reasonable first playthrough. New Game Plus spikes the difficulty and can feel trial-and-error, and some note the fast movement leads to accidental deaths. A few reviewers mention missing quality-of-life features like a volume slider.
