Steam review snapshots
Some of the jokes are maybe a little too easy but considering the rate they fly out at, the humour feels immersive…* Very open ended exploration in a dungeon feels bigger than it is.Cons (as of v.1.0.4): * Controls are slow and annoying in parts, especially with the "cling" and "throw" buttons on a controller…My measure of a great game is when it's buggy as hell, and seemingly unfinished in others, but it's still so original…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by pixel art, puzzle, single-player.
