How it feels
A retro-inspired platformer where the player shifts between two visual styles to brighten a dull world with imagination.

What players say
Players describe a tough old-school platformer that leans on a reality-switching mechanic to hide secrets and solve puzzles. Most find the start deceptively simple but hit a sharp difficulty spike at the first boss. There is some disagreement: a few players criticise the level design as unintuitive, while most praise the nostalgia and challenge.
