The verdict
Brutally punishing but fair precision platformer where one bad jump can drop you many screens. Skip it if rage games or losing progress make you miserable.
Great for
Patient rage-game fans who want a fair, skill-based challenge with lovely pixel art
Main risk
Punishing falls and no jump gauge can turn it into pure frustration and wasted time
What players love
Great pixel art, music and atmosphere
