How it feels

Toggling between two mirrored halves creates a disorienting, twitch-reliant flow where every button press demands split-second timing.

About

The screen is split horizontally in two halves: light and dark, and the dark side is upside down. You are constantly moving forward and every time you press a button you switch between the sides. You also jump by pressing a button and can fly some distance by holding a button. Collect the coins to score points and avoid hitting the spikes.
