Steam review snapshots
The music is solid, the controls feel responsive and I liked the heavy pixalated art when I played it but looking back…This game strips away your very sanity.But there's something that's always stuck with me: the art style, the vibe and the general feeling of the game.Great platformer, I beat it once and refuse to touch it again in depth because I love myself and don't want to…Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by weird, single-player.
