Wee gem, the game won't close on Steam Deck, I had to hold power button down and switch off deck, then press again to restart, we need a fix for that, the game is fun.
Fun retro-styled platformer. It's a fun time that properly captures its inspirations while not being nearly as frustrating as 80s games could be!

This is an almost chill, not too hard platformer. I appreciate the spectrum colors, and the cute (though repetitive) music. The gamepad controls are working (after playing some games that didn't work with Dpad buttons I count this as a plus). I appreciate the humor of the game, and the nods to famous spectrum games. I have only almost minor problems: no full screen, a double jump bug (I sometimes explited it I must say), and the rotating giant pixels which is a nono in my book. All in all I like it, it's a short game, if you like retro platformers it's definietly a buy.
My son and I loved this game - nice relaxing retro platformer - keep em coming! Super neat that the artifact statues were old video game characters like manic miner and, i think, dizzy. Ending was also classic...
Really nice jumping platform 8 bit era inspired game. If you remember that era well, then this game will be right up your street. Nothing more to be said.
A bit-sized metroidvania collectathon sensation! What an absolute joy it was to play this game and collect everything!
Loved the game but had to refund as the game does not allow you to go fullscreen. Just seems to run in a window. Only way seems to be to maximise the window. Hope to see a real fullscreen and I will purchase instantly! EDIT: You could use Lossless scaling to scale the game to fullscreen.
A great little retro adventure. Some more challenging levels would be great in the future. The ending was pretty cool - my jaw dropped and I'm like OMG please let this game continue past this point!! (It didn't, but I'll be watching for more from this developer.) No regrets paying $5 for this gem.
Steam Deck: Fully playable, although it locked up a couple times on me while saving, and there was a persistent bug where jumping would trigger a quick double-jump (which on one of the treasure planets let me get to an area I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be and was out of bounds). Back in the day this is the type of game that would be on either a cover disk, or shareware (the type where everybody plays and enjoys the free levels but nobody registers). This game is distinctly retro, with 1 button (jump) and heavily pixel based aesthetic. And it pulls it off really well, for a quick (I finished 100% in less than 2 hours) burst of nostalgic fun. This isn't going to change anyone's mind on the retro style, but as somebody who was there when the style was cutting edge, I enjoyed my time with the game.
