Charming visuals and character designs, particularly the adorable wolf and horse duo, create an engaging atmosphere.
Gameplay is fun and smooth, with multiple routes in levels that encourage exploration and treasure hunting.
The game offers a unique blend of cute graphics and a somber story, making it emotionally engaging.

The game is quite short, with only two levels and one boss fight, which may leave players wanting more.
Controls can be unresponsive at times, particularly when trying to jump while moving forward.
Level designs and enemy variety feel generic, which detracts from the overall experience.
