How it feels

a punishing 2D platformer-puzzle with pixel graphics and a grimly humorous challenge

What players say

Players describe it as a short, Touhou-themed trapformer with deliberately awkward controls and a heavy jump. It offers multiple endings and a math puzzle, but many say the jump physics feel unpolished and the difficulty comes from the mechanics, not skill. Opinions split on whether its low price and silly deaths justify the frustration.
