How it feels

A swift and punishing platformer where a single mistake ends the run, set in a deceptively cheerful world.

What players say

Players call this a very hard platformer, with some complaining that the physics changed over time and spears became one-use. Others note it is a simple old game worth revisiting for nostalgia, though the difficulty is punishing.
