How it feels
A precise, physics-driven puzzle racer where you carefully manipulate momentum to navigate tricky, colorful 2D courses.

What players say
Players describe Nimbus as a punishing physics-based glider game where you fight gravity and momentum rather than accelerate. It is very hard, but the optional checkpoints and multiple paths let you adjust the challenge. A long-standing bug makes time records based on real-world time rather than in-game time, frustrating score chasers. The developer has gone largely off the radar since release.
