How it feels

A retro pixel-art puzzle-platformer where you hop through icy levels with a stick, collect fish for a friend, and unlock buddy abilities in a friendly, low-stakes quest.

What players say

Players praise its NES-style throwback design and sheer volume of content, but note the controls are intentionally tanky and the puzzle elements are mild. The lack of an English translation is flagged.
