What players say

Players praise this as a short, fun top-down metroidvania that takes about 1.5 to 3 hours to complete. The hand-drawn art and zelda-like exploration get consistent compliments, and the boss fights are described as challenging but fair. Many note that its length and low price make it a great pick for a single sitting.
