How it feels

A charming but punishing retro platformer where precise star-throwing physics turns every jump into a delicate puzzle.

What players say

Players agree the original game is a technically impressive and tough NES platformer with great music, but this re-release is held back by noticeable input lag, a bare-bones package, and broken achievements that require a specific mode to unlock.
