Hades, except without creativity, harder, and with even poorer difficulty-balance.

It's basically a harder version of Hades.

Unfun and generic needle. The vast majority of the jumps are ledges, corners and basic derivatives (Generally sphincters and horizontal sphincters) or double diamonds and derivatives, the saves with sphincters being particularly disgusting. The third save in the first screen is also incredibly annoying to perform. Nice visuals, nice music, death sound could be lower.
There's hardly any reason for anyone to play this. It's boring AND really generic. Wouldn't recommend.

the first hades-like ever made, being made not too long after Hades. not a good game unfortunately, the needle is very much subpar and only perhaps two saves were somewhat interesting. the engine isn’t particularly great either, it feels unresponsive and awkward at times. I can’t really put my finger on what it is, but it doesn’t feel great to play. difficulty balance is all over the place — final screen is by far the easiest. I suppose the tileset is iconic, but it’s nowhere near Hades or any other decent hades-like
