What players say

Players call this a short, casual retro-style platformer with easy difficulty, checkpoints, and a charming gothic look. It is compared to Classicvania and Ghosts 'N Goblins, but most find it much easier. Some note the controls can feel unresponsive, and spelling errors are common.
