How it feels

A tense, retro-style platformer with simple visuals and a chiptune soundtrack, where every jump must be precise to survive a dungeon full of traps and enemies.

What players say

Players enjoy the early levels and soundtrack, but many say the game becomes frustrating in its second half, especially level 49, which demands several pixel-perfect jumps in a row with no room for error. Several compare it to Super Meat Boy, and while some find it addictive, others call the late-game difficulty pure trial and error.
