What players say
Fantastic little game, good sprites and animations, easy to follow the action. Its like a lite version of dead cells.

Extremely polished and challenging action rogue game. I think if it was branded a little differently it'd be a more popular game. Kind of like Spelunky meets Dead Cells? Hard to describe this game. You'll die almost as much as you do in Spelunky but seems like you can unlock a lot of perks. If you see it on sale definitely pick it up and check it out. Also worth full price.
Incredibly built game! Played it until I beat it and didn't stop! The developers should be proud of themselves. I wish more people got the opportunity to play.
