How it feels

A frantic, punishing action platformer with tight combat and small arenas that throws you into claustrophobic battles.

What players say

Players praise the combat for feeling weighty and satisfying, and many are impressed that two teenagers made it. The game is fast-paced and encourages aggressive play, though some find the gameplay loop repetitive after a few levels. Controls are easy to grasp with keyboard, but a controller is recommended and the inability to rebind keys frustrates some.
