How it feels

A fast-paced underground adventure with colorful hand-painted visuals, where precise critical hits and skill tree customization shape the combat feel.

What players say

Players consistently note unusual controls, especially a jump that won't work while holding a direction, and no saving mid-level. The art and soundtrack are praised, but opinions split on whether it is a metroidvania or a linear platformer, with difficulty rising sharply later on.
