How it feels
A classic retro-inspired action platformer where you methodically explore interconnected rooms, collect upgrades, and face tough enemies and bosses at a deliberate pace.

What players say
Players say it is a short and difficult Metroidvania with precision platforming and long gauntlets between save points. The music is repetitive and there is almost no ending. Players are split on whether the difficulty is rewarding or frustrating.
