How it feels

A lighthearted 2D adventure with retro-inspired platforming and colorful pixel art, where you explore and battle former friends as a witch guardian.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the cute art and charming protagonist, while others say early access lost its interconnected world and collectibles, replaced with a linear grind. Performance is fine, but boss battles become tough in the second half, and there is no way to rebind controls.
