Steam Deck: Fully playable, although it locked up a couple times on me while saving, and there was a persistent bug where jumping would trigger a quick double-jump (which on one of the treasure planets let me get to an area I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be and was out of bounds). Back in the day this is the type of game that would be on either a cover disk, or shareware (the type where everybody plays and enjoys the free levels but nobody registers). This game is distinctly retro, with 1 button (jump) and heavily pixel based aesthetic. And it pulls it off really well, for a quick (I finished 100% in less than 2 hours) burst of nostalgic fun. This isn't going to change anyone's mind on the retro style, but as somebody who was there when the style was cutting edge, I enjoyed my time with the game.
