How it feels

A short, simple pixel-art puzzle-platformer that feels abandoned by its creator, with a melancholic and forgotten tone.

What players say

Players praise the variety across three worlds, shifting from puzzles to tough platforming, and find the boss fight satisfying though a difficulty spike. Controls lack rebinding, and the game can hang on startup.
