How it feels

A brief, clumsy platformer that feels like exploring a hand-drawn world where progress comes from understanding hidden secrets.

What players say

Players praise the knowledge-lock design where they discover abilities they always had, not earn new ones, using only left, right, and jump. The hand-drawn art is liked, but the lack of a minimap can cause frustration with navigation. The base game is short (around 2 hours), with the March DLC adding more challenge.
