Game Features

**A darkly humourous world, built with loving care, pixel by pixel.

Visuals which recall a classic era of gaming portray a rich, picture book world.

Completing each stage will reveal more of the mysteries which shroud the dark, fairytale-like exterior.

Your enemies’ movement synchronises with the operatic soundtrack, sung in a bizarre, fictional language, creating a truly unique experience.

A high score is the key to the real ending and unlocking the story’s secrets.

Your skill will guide how the story concludes; practice really does make perfect!

  • Extra Features Galore!

Unlock True Mode after completing the game to see new enemies, hidden bonus characters and more!

Learn the combo system, bomb system and hidden characters, then mix and match to find your own play style.

When you’re confident, aim for the top of the leaderboards in Score Attack.
