—Explore a tiny world, find upgrades, discover hidden paths, and battle bosses in this retro-style metroidvania action platformer.
So tiny, that the screen resolution is only 160x90!
It's so small that you can also complete the game in a single session!
Traverse and backtrack through meticulously crafted pixels of caves, jungles, labs, ruins, and more.

Almost every room has a hidden item or a secret path. Can you find them all?

Missiles, Claw, Ball-Mode and more!

Equip Microcards to modify your weapons and abilities. Create your own play style. Just make sure you've found enough Microcells to power them.

Don’t worry about saving your progress - the game will create a checkpoint every time you enter a room, and you will spawn back here if you die.
And quitting to the main menu will save your game where you are, so you can jump right back in on your next session.

Designed for controllers, with fully customisable buttons.

Including accessibility options like rapid fire or toggle modes for various functions. If a boss gives you trouble, you can use the "Respawn at Boss" setting to make them easier to fight.

... and you can pet the snail!
