How it feels

a grounded, retro-infused action platformer blending film-noir mood with samurai-inspired combat and parkour challenges.

What players say

Players describe a short retro platformer with tight, responsive controls that reward practice, though some find the controls frustrating with a keyboard. The game is very cheap and takes about an hour to beat, with a difficulty that ramps up in the final level. A few players note the fighting is simplistic button mashing, and the game was overhauled from an earlier, worse version.
