What players say

A tribute to retro flash games, this is a short precision platformer where an aging knight flies with a helicopter helmet to collect gold. Players find the difficulty ramps up hard after the first half, especially in the last few levels. There is some disagreement about polish: most praise the music and core gameplay, but some note pickups should reset on death and cutscenes cannot be skipped.
