How it feels

A lighthearted, simple 2D action game with a focus on exploration and collecting, punctuated by challenging boss fights and a high-difficulty mode.

What players say

Players praise the cute furry character designs and find the free metroidvania a fun, if short, experience lasting 4 to 8 hours. Some note floaty jumps, wonky hitboxes, and a questionable English translation, with one reviewer calling the music uninteresting. A healing mechanic involving getting kissed on the head is frequently mentioned.
