“An iOS platformer that actually works.” ~ Penny Arcade

“One of the best games on the iOS platform, hands-down.” ~ iPhoneAlley
“The graphics are perfectly vibrant, and have just enough of that 16-bit era pixely-ness to them without going overboard. The original soundtrack by Flashygoodness is an excellent pairing, and the controls work great…” ~ TouchArcade

Awarded MMGN’s App of the Week.
