Runs well on modern hardware.
A great puzzle platformer that thoroughky and cleverly explores its neat central mechanic. Lots of satisfying moments. Loved the retro aesthetic and music too.
Awesome puzzle platformer ! I picked it up after playing Öoo which was incredible, and this one from the same dev didn’t disappoint !
Great puzzle game. Metroidvania style world with some really fun and well explored puzzle mechanics. Very solid throughout. Great music. I'm not a big fan of the retro art style but it never detracted from the puzzling. It's short, good and costs less than a movie ticket. If you like puzzle games, give this one a shot.
