a cute little game where you collect equipment and fling your character through monsters to dismantle them block-by-block. this was one of very few mobile games i've loved enough to spend a few bucks to make ad-free, so i'm delighted to see it back in any form! mouse control feels a little more awkward than the touch controls of the original, but it's still satisfying to ricochet across the screen in an explosion of blocks, hunting down enemies to level your stash of weapons and armor for permanent upgrades. looking forward to chimera recollect becoming available as well!
