How it feels

A relentless, old-school action-platformer where you fight through hell with punishing difficulty and pixelated gore.

What players say

Players praise the authentic retro look and chiptune music, but many find the controls stiff and the combat repetitive, relying on mindless button mashing. The short length suits some, while others say it is a slog with unfair deaths and poor keyboard-only support.
