How it feels

A tense and lonely slog through a compact afterlife, demanding precise two-button mastery against punishing platforming.

What players say

Players praise the minimalist two-button control scheme as clever but say the double-tap dash often fails to register, especially on some keyboards and 144Hz monitors. The game is brutally difficult and can cause wrist strain, though speedrunners and fans of Celeste-style challenges enjoy its tight design.
