Played on OG LCD Steam Deck without issues. Fantastic extremely underpriced game! Dans of minishoot adventures will love this is well as Metroidvania fans, buy it without hesitation and maybe gift it to someone. Also check out Super Robiy! Never mind my playtime, my internet went out and I played offline a bunch.1 found this helpful
Nice little Metroidvania with rewarding exploration.
A perfectly silly and comfy zelda like. Size long enough to play in one sitting. Recommended!
A solid short experience. For the price, I don't regret it. I wish the dev cooked a bit longer as the game had a lot of potential to be great. I give the game a rating of: Good (6.4/10)

What a thoroughly pleasing little experience! I don't use "little" to diminish the work or impact or quality here, this game was crisp to control, pleasing to explore, had just the right amount of difficulty to make me thoughtful about strategy and execution, and the "sarcastic spooky" theme was a charming throwback to late 90s/early 00s vibes. This felt like a game that would have totally slammed on Xbox Live Arcade, and I mean that as an absolute compliment.
