The game is a side-scrolling platform action adventure built around movement, jumping, combat, and psychic abilities. Players advance through multi-stage areas, fighting enemies, avoiding traps, and using special powers to overcome obstacles or solve environmental situations. Progress is linear but each stage features varied enemy patterns, hazards, and boss encounters, requiring careful timing and smart ability management.

One of the main protagonists, a boy who uses psychic powers on his journey.
Sati
Bon's important companion and a key figure in the story.
Learn the role and cost of each psychic ability early so you can save the right power for the right obstacle. Don't rush through enemy-dense sections; clearing threats first is usually safer. Boss fights are easier when you watch for attack telegraphs and attack only during openings. Preserve recovery items for difficult stages and boss encounters.
