What players say

Players praise its unique movement system where you stick to walls and gain speed by chaining jumps, with music that ramps up as you go faster. Many call it a challenging but addictive die-and-retry platformer that rewards practice, though some find the controls tricky to learn. A few reviews mention performance issues with mouse input and wish for sensitivity options.
