Styled after 1990s console classics, this 2D platformer begins when a curse sweeps across the Crystal Islands and Kaze sets out to rescue her friend Hogo, running and jumping through levels full of angry, animated vegetables.
The hook is the set of Wild Masks, each granting an animal ability: the tiger pounces, the eagle takes to the air, the lizard sprints and the shark handles water. With more than thirty main levels and over fifty bonus stages, there is plenty to work through, all drawn in hand-animated pixel art. The platforming aims to feel smooth while still posing a real challenge, so it suits fans of classic side-scrollers who want a firm test.
