“Suprisingly good metroidvania-style platformer. Challenging at times, but never punishing. Great level design, fun boss fights, and a charming visual style and music, all wrapped in light, genuinely enjoyable gameplay.”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Amazing platformer! The control are a little weird, but not hard to get used to. There is one place where it is possible to get hard locked and completely have to restart. Overall a very fun experience, especially since its a completely free game, 9/10”
