How it feels
A fast, challenging 8-bit platformer where you fight through waves of drones and tanks, with a boss at the end of each stage.

What players say
Players describe this as a retro pixel platformer that strongly resembles Super Mario. Combat and flying sections add variety, but the difficulty feels unfair due to no checkpoints, sluggish controls, and punishing instant-death bosses. Many also criticize it as a low-quality Flash game.
