What players say
91% of 6,298 reviews are positive · 82% of 35 in the last 30 days
Players praise the fast movement, melee combat, ability combinations, pixel art, and music. The most common complaint is that the grappling hook feels imprecise or awkward, especially in platforming sections; some also find harder settings and certain levels overly punishing.
