About the game

Before man climbed down from the trees to shop in megastores and drink cappuccino, before the Earth wadded itself into a ball, there was the Island. A fragment from a long-lost planet. Upon the surface of this paradise wandered Kabuto the giant. Little does he know, it was home to others before him.

A very fun blast from the past. It might has that 00s jank, but its a great jack-of-all-trades game that offers a great gameplay variety with its 3 protagonists. I miss the days when devs were making games for the sake of fun. Definitely check it out, especially on a sale. 9,2/10
IcesnakeRecommendedafter 15hAug 2025Read on Steam
Brilliant game with very quirky funny characters and novel gameplay. One of a kind. Old graphics don't matter, they're still beautiful especially the sea reaper woman and how she moves around.
