What kind of mentalist maps the jump and action button this way round? With no option to remap, this is so frustrating. Don't ask me if it's a good game, I don't have the patience due to the inverted mapping and it makes me swear lots.

Neat little game. Also the controller works just fine regardless of steam saying the game doesnt support it

I'm grateful for bite-sized games, and this one packs a lot into less than two hours. Varied environments with light backtracking, multiple bosses, new weapons and traversal abilities. There's just enough challenge to the combat and platforming to stay interesting, and the checkpoints are generous. A well designed and executed little gem.
Recommended Nov 11, 2025
It's a small yet charming little game that has ~30 minutes playtime. While I am giving it a positive review I would value this game at ~2 euro so unless it's on a 50% (or higher) sale it's likely not worth it.

A wonderful, bite-sized Metroidvania. What a great way to spend an hour
Recommended Oct 3, 2025
Am i conceptually annoyed that the 'mini-vania' is a genre that people keep making games for? Yes. But did i have an alright half an hour or whatever getting through it? Yeah i did actually. And i'm charmed by it being a pico8 game. So like, i dunno. For the price? It was fun enough to make me happy. 31 reviews is brutal

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
