The gameplay is characterized as simple and enjoyable, featuring straightforward controls and a charming metroidvania style. However, players note its brevity, with completion times averaging around 30 to 40 minutes, and some mention a lack of depth in mechanics. While the experience is generally relaxing, certain elements, like combat with specific enemies, can feel unfair.
“A short game with simple and fun gameplay.”
“A short, charming little metroidvania with four simple controls (Z, X, up arrow, down arrow) and combat that doesn't punish you too harshly for making mistakes. I like the graphics, sound design, and gameplay. Movement feels floaty, and this is a very short game, only taking me 30 minutes to complete. 7/10.”
