How it feels

A cheerful, colorful 2D platformer with light puzzles and a playful retro-futuristic setting, where you swing an axe through cartoony alien antics.

What players say

Players praise the cute art style and Soviet-pioneer setting, but many find movement slow, levels overly long, and combat repetitive. The grappling hook is widely criticized as finicky, and collectibles do not save between sessions, forcing one-sitting runs. Players split on the difficulty, calling it easy early then sharply spiking near the end.
