The music in the game is described as fitting and fun, but ultimately falls short due to its short and repetitive loops, leading some players to consider turning it off. While some reviewers find the music decent, it lacks memorability and fails to leave a lasting impression. Overall, the music is seen as a mixed aspect of the game, with potential that is not fully realized.
“The art is really good, and the music is good too.”
“I rarely turn the music off in my games, and I was close to doing that with this one.”

The gameplay is characterized by a small adventure featuring a few well-developed mechanics, making it accessible for newcomers to the metroidvania genre. However, the core bow mechanic can be frustrating due to its small hitbox and the size of enemies, while the map design is decent but includes only limited fast travel options.
“Small adventure with not too many, but fleshed out mechanics, making this a great entry point for everyone who wants to get into the metroidvania genre.”
“The map design was alright and there is a limited fast travel mechanic.”
“This game really has nothing going for it except for the core bow mechanic, but that feels finicky to pull off since the hitbox is tiny and so are enemies.”
“The map design was alright, and there is a limited fast travel mechanic.”
