A bit janky in places and the enemy placement can be annoying at times. Overall a decent game though. The pixel art and animations were genuinely a treat and the music was pretty good too. For how short it was, I am willing to ignore the issues and count this as a few hours well spent. Nothing groundbreaking, but a solid experience nonetheless.

What a poorly balanced attempt at a retro side scroller... The premise is neat, the level aesthetics are cool, even the character is cool. There are secret areas with power-ups and that's also cool. Unfortunately, the cool stuff stops there. There are so many QoL features missing from this title, that are found in similar style games from 30 years ago. Remember in Castlevania IV how you could spin your whip around?…
