How it feels

A brisk, colorful action-adventure with a playful tone and moderate challenge.

What players say

Players praise the parry-and-reflect combat and minimalist Atari-style graphics, but split on the difficulty: most enjoy the challenge while several call the final boss frustrating. The game is a short, compact top-down metroidvania with generous checkpoints.
