How it feels

A tense and minimalist one-click platformer where every restart reshuffles the level, demanding quick reflexes and careful direction changes.

What players say

Players praise the unique mechanic of steering a constantly moving ball through procedural levels, which makes each run a fresh timing challenge. However, they split on the experience: some love the minimalist arcade feel, while others find it rage-inducingly hard and plagued by bugs that make fighting the game harder than the enemies. Most agree it is short, with roughly 8-10 hours of content.
