How it feels

A deliberately absurd and rule-breaking adventure that mixes genres in a chaotic, joke-first style meant to confuse and amuse.

What players say

Players describe it as a deliberately unfair platformer full of hidden traps and instant deaths, comparable to I Wanna Be the Guy or Syobon Action. Many report that while the controls feel stiff, the real challenge is memorizing the trick solutions. Reviews split on whether the absurd difficulty is funny or just frustrating.
