How it feels

You control a six-legged ball, pressing one key per leg to climb a jagged mountain, with deliberate jank and punishing physics that feel like a slow, tense test of coordination.

What players say

Players describe a free 3D platformer where you control a ball with six legs to climb a mountain. They are split: some find it refreshingly original and fun, others call it an unplayable, frustrating art project. The movement, controlled by six piston buttons, is universally cited as hard to master.
