What it is

A 2D action-platformer where players drill through terrain with a special tool to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. It features fast-paced movement and exploration in a colorful world.

What players liked

Players praise its unique grinder mechanics and level design, offering a short but fun platforming experience similar to Super Mario Brothers.

The catch

The boss fights are the low point, with unclear hitboxes and cheap hits on four health.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 86% positive, but with 1,235 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
