How it feels
A fast-paced, satirical retro side-scroller where you fight through a grim post-apocalyptic world as a pig on a revenge mission.

What players say
Players compare it to Contra and Jazz Jackrabbit with metroidvania elements. It's short but fair difficulty is marred by a punishing respawn system that strips your coins, respawns all enemies and bonuses, and is criticized more than praised. Some find levels repetitive and note instant-death off-screen enemies.
