“Um jogo feito com muito carinho. A jogabilidade é simples, mas é super divertida; as fases são legais, bem feitas, cheias de segredos e mecânicas divertidas; as personagens são bobinhas e amáveis. Não há nada mais que…”
“This game was a delight, and all the more so knowing that this was a solo developed game. The platforming is excellent and doesn’t feel floaty. The level variety is amazing. The story is there, but I wasn’t expecting…”

“Fun game, it took me about 9 hours to 100% but it'll take longer if you're inexperienced with platformers or bullet hell games. I have more positives than negatives, but there are some negatives. If you're here from the…”
