A chaotic, rhythmic burst of primal violence driven by frenetic jazz and unstoppable momentum.

What players say
Players call it a stripped-down, jazz-infused take on Hotline Miami where you smash through levels as an ape. It is short (under 3 hours) but replayable on harder difficulty, and the soundtrack reacts to kills with percussion. Some find swarming enemies frustrating.
