What players say

Players praise the snappy controls and charming artstyle, but warn it is insanely difficult across platforming, puzzles, and bullet hell. The game trusts players to think outside the box, with cryptic puzzles that sometimes require external tools. Some players find the binary and hex puzzles frustrating rather than rewarding.
