How it feels

A cute, lighthearted puzzle-platformer where you juggle two characters and fairies to solve timed challenges.

What players say

Players say this installment adds a fairy mechanic that forces one player to control both their character and the fairy, which gets awkward especially in dark levels. Long-time fans recommend it for nostalgia though many prefer the older art style and find the game short but enjoyable.
