How it feels

A physics-heavy platformer where precise dashes and bounces feel rewarding but every tiny error punishes you, wrapped in a darkly humorous and colorful world.

What players say

Players describe this as a brutally hard platformer in the Getting Over It mold, where you bounce an apple upward with a chaotic, unpredictable control scheme. Many say it is extremely frustrating yet addictive, and several note the level design takes a turn for the worse in the second half.
