By Demo Disk December 20, 2018

“Played: Steam demo. Popular for a reason: cute visuals and music, intuitive controls, the Metroidvania+pinball idea works. Demo doesn't give a sense of how progression will work, but hardly an issue.”

Flip and bump our pint-sized protagonist around the stunning hand-painted island on your quest to rebuild the post-office, and wake an old god from its deep slumber.
