Oct. 2024

This game has pretty slow start, but the it gets good if you like platformers.

Sept. 2024

absolutely outstanding, charming graphics and story.... was expecting a walking simulator game with very little game-play.... you get a great and tough platformer with loads of fun references to soo many random and fun things, I get frustrated during platforming so need to take a break now but eager to find out what happens to the little guy

July 2024

The story is cute and nice. The platforming is incredibly fucking annoying, and gets worse and worse as the game goes on. I also hated all the /fucking/ rhythm heaven minigames. I do recommend the beginning, but I didn't play it until the end.

April 2024

A great game. Very difficult in places (though I am not a fan of boss fights or timed challenges). Clearly a lot of effort and love went into making it. Touching story.

April 2024

Good story, good gameplay mechanics but this game is frustrating with its difficulty spike, I enjoy games with extreme difficulty curves but a lot of this was just annoyingly hard. Wouldn’t recommend unless “fuck you ima throw some stupid shit at you” difficulty is something you’re okay with
