What players say
Awesome Metroidlike. Exploration is fun and rewarding. Loved everything about it.

Just a great old school metroidvania (heavy on the metroid, which is not a bad thing)
this is the least polished metroidvania i have ever played. i have a feeling that the only person who playtested this game is the developer. decent enough game if you like jank, and it's not too hard to sequence break, for better or for worse
