Nov. 2024

Good old times, a complete game that doesn't cost the price of a liver. Simple but challenging, a game that I never forgot despite the years. Thanks for my childhood guys !

Aug. 2024

A game of my childhood and brings a lot of nostalgia when I played this on my old PC. The gameplay, the music, and everything on this game is just pure perfection.

July 2024

Fantastic game from my childhood, but is in dire need of some updates for more modern PCs. Can very easily crash. XBox 360 version is a bit better, but for true nostalgia I recommend this one.

June 2024

I bought it because childhood. It's still as beautiful as I played it the first time. I play it on linux with proton. So, you should be able to play it on steam deck.

Feb. 2024

It's a really fun and nostalgic game. It's a pity that when I was a child I'm always stuck at level 2. (เป็นเกมที่สนุกและชวนคิดถึงเอามากๆ เสียดายที่ตอนผมเป็นเด็กดันติดอยู่ที่ด่านสองตลอด)
