What players say

96% of 2,246 reviews are positive · 94% of 17 in the last 30 days

Players praise the soundtrack, pixel art, and escalating action; some say the continue system helps them learn. The most common complaint is that failing near the end can erase save progress and require replaying earlier stages.
