The WhatsNext verdict
For Fans of bite-sized Metroidvanias and authentic 80s MSX retro aesthetics who enjoy tinkering with level editors and custom sprites.: It captures the visual style, crisp chiptunes, and tight design constraints of 8-bit home computer classics while offering a surprisingly feature-rich stage and character editor. Tradeoff: The campaign is intentionally short, and retro combat quirks like stiff knockback and punishing enemy placements can make some rooms feel frustrating.

A Metroidvania that lets you build the next one
A tiny MSX-era time capsule with unmistakable pixel charm
Chiptunes that complete the nostalgic illusion
What might put you off
