Playing feels like controlling a neon-colored alien through a janky obstacle course where the goofy tone clashes with surprisingly precise platforming and a faintly unsettling, lonely world.

What players say
Players disagree sharply on difficulty: some call it easy and finish in 30 minutes, others find it broken and frustrating. Multi-monitor fullscreen issues and buggy landing controls are widely reported.
