Venture through 40 meticulously designed levels across four distinct worlds featuring varied gameplay mechanics and challenging boss battles. Encounter a plethora of adversaries, uncover hidden secrets in over 150 rooms, and immerse yourself in the nostalgic atmosphere of retro gaming with 1-bit color graphics and chiptune music.
