Reception

This title feels like it probably would’ve been right at home being released on the Mega Drive. It feels inherently retro, which is both good and bad. Good, because the graphics work, the gameplay is great fun, and I enjoyed the simple design of just getting to the end of a level and progressing to the next. Just like the old days. However, it also...

While I love an indie title that manages to do something new and unexpected, throw a catalyst like roguelike concepts into the mix, or merge together genres in a way I never imagined, there's also nothing wrong with executing something familiar well for a reasonable price...
